Provenance

Where it came from

The Axew card (13/20) was released in 2012 as part of the Dragon Vault subset, a special expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was unique because it consisted exclusively of Dragon-type Pokémon, marking the introduction of the Dragon type as a distinct category in the TCG. The set was packaged as part of a bundle that included three booster packs, a promotional card, and a collector's coin.

The artwork for this particular card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, who has been a prolific contributor to the Pokémon TCG since the early 2000s. The card features a distinct holofoil treatment that was characteristic of the Dragon Vault set, designed to emphasize the powerful and exotic nature of the Dragon-type introduction. Upon release, it was well-received by collectors for its thematic consistency and the specific aesthetic flair brought by the set's limited release structure.
