Provenance

Where it came from

The Black Kyurem-EX card was introduced in the 2012 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Boundaries Crossed. This set served as a bridge between the Black & White era's video games, specifically featuring the fusion Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. As a Dragon-type card, it represented a significant shift in the game's mechanics, introducing the Dragon type to the card game landscape to balance the powerful elemental interactions of the era.

Designed primarily by 5ban Graphics, the card utilizes a full-art treatment common to the Rare Ultra tier of the time, characterized by textured foil and dynamic, oversized artwork. The design emphasizes the imposing mechanical and draconic nature of Black Kyurem, reflecting its status as a legendary fusion. Upon its release, it was highly regarded by competitive players for its 'Black Ballista' attack, which allowed for substantial damage output at the cost of discarding energy, marking it as a centerpiece of high-level play during the 2012-2013 competitive season.
