Where it came from
Aerodactyl-EX (XY97) was released in 2016 as part of the XY Black Star Promos set, a collection of cards distributed primarily through specialized merchandise rather than standard booster packs. This specific card was included in the Aerodactyl-EX Box, which provided players and collectors with an accessible way to obtain the powerful Fighting-type Pokémon during the peak of the XY era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
The card features artwork by Eske Yoshinob, who captured the prehistoric Pokémon with a dynamic, aggressive aesthetic that emphasizes its status as an ancient predator. Yoshinob utilized the textured, holographic design characteristic of the EX-era cards, which were designed to feel premium and visually distinct from standard holofoil cards. It was generally well-received by the player base at the time for its utility in competitive play and its inclusion of the Ancient Trait-inspired mechanics that defined the late XY card sets.
