5 facts about this card
This Illustration Rare version of Gloom was released in Obsidian Flames as card 198/197, making it one of the set’s secret-number cards that sits beyond the main set list collectors chase.
Unlike the regular Obsidian Flames Gloom, the Illustration Rare print features artwork by Masako Tomii, giving this card a distinct collector identity tied directly to its credited illustrator.
The card’s flavor text comes from Pokémon Shield, where Gloom’s infamous ‘drool’ is described as sweet, stubbornly sticky honey rather than slime.
Gloom’s attack Inviting Scent is part of a long TCG lineage, with Bulbapedia tracing it back to the classic effect first seen as Lure on Victreebel from the original Jungle era.
The card first appeared in Japan’s Ruler of the Black Flame before joining the English Obsidian Flames expansion, linking it to the global Scarlet & Violet release cycle collectors follow closely.
