Where it came from
The Blastoise-GX card, designated SM189, was released in 2019 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was specifically included in the Blastoise-GX Premium Collection, a boxed product designed to showcase the popular Kanto starter Pokémon in the modern GX format. This format was central to the Sun & Moon era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, emphasizing high-power attacks and increased health points to define competitive play.
The artwork features Blastoise rendered in the sleek, holographic style typical of the GX era, focusing on the character's signature cannons and water-based themes. As a promotional release, it provided players with a reliable, readily accessible version of the card outside of standard booster pack sets. The card was well-received by collectors and players alike for its playability and its aesthetic nod to the original generation of Pokémon.
