Where it came from
Applin (SV012/122) was released as part of the Shiny Vault subset within the 2021 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Shining Fates. This set served as a specialized release designed to highlight rare, alternate-color 'Shiny' Pokémon, continuing a tradition popularized by earlier expansions like Hidden Fates. The card features a distinct aesthetic, utilizing a foil treatment that emphasizes the character's unique coloration and sparkling effect, distinguishing it from standard set releases.
The card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a prolific artist in the Pokémon TCG whose work is known for clean, vibrant lines and a whimsical approach to character poses. Saitou focused on capturing Applin’s dual nature as both a Grass and Dragon-type creature, placing it within a soft, illustrative environment that highlights the creature's simple yet iconic design. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors who prioritize the Shiny Vault series for its thematic focus on rare variants and high-quality, reflective card stock.
