Where it came from
Altaria 152/149 is a Secret Rare card from the Pokémon TCG expansion Boundaries Crossed, released internationally in late 2012. This set was notable for introducing the Dragon type as a distinct category in the card game, shifting the elemental dynamics that had been established since the base set. As a shiny variant, the card features the distinct golden plumage of the Pokémon, a hallmark of the 'Shiny' or 'Gold Star' tradition in the hobby that rewards players and collectors with rare alternate color palettes.
The artwork for this card was provided by 5ban Graphics, a studio frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company for high-rarity and full-art cards during the Black & White era. The design choices for the Boundaries Crossed secret rares favored a textured, holographic finish intended to emphasize the prestige of the Dragon-type introduction. Upon release, the card was received as a centerpiece for the set, valued by players for its 'Dragon Call' ability and by collectors for its aesthetic departure from the standard card art of the period.
