Provenance

Where it came from

The Altaria card was released as part of the EX Dragon expansion in 2003, a pivotal set in the Pokémon Trading Card Game that introduced the Dragon type to the mechanics of the game. Published by The Pokémon Company during the era managed by Wizards of the Coast and later transitioned to Nintendo, the set focused on the powerful dragon-themed creatures first introduced in the Generation III video games, Ruby and Sapphire.

This specific holographic card features art by Ken Sugimori, the primary illustrator and character designer for the franchise. His approach for this piece emphasizes the elegant, cloud-like aesthetic of Altaria, utilizing a clean and iconic style that defines the early EX-era cards. Upon its release, it was well-received by players and collectors alike for its unique colorless typing and its importance in establishing the competitive viability of dragon-type Pokémon within the evolving meta-game.
