Provenance

Where it came from

The Blastoise-GX card was released in 2019 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Unbroken Bonds. This specific card, numbered 218/214, is a Secret Rare variant featuring a rainbow-hued, textured holofoil finish. It was designed to celebrate the iconic Generation I starter evolution, grounding the powerful GX mechanics—introduced in the Sun & Moon era—within the nostalgia of early franchise favorites.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a design studio known for creating the high-contrast, CGI-influenced aesthetic common to the GX line. The design process focused on emphasizing Blastoise’s signature hydro-cannon cannons while utilizing the Rainbow Rare treatment to elevate the card’s visual status for competitive players and high-end collectors alike, ultimately becoming a staple of the set's Secret Rare chase cards.
