Where it came from
Released in November 2019 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sun & Moon: Cosmic Eclipse expansion, this card represents the final major set of the seventh generation. The set was designed to emphasize the powerful Tag Team mechanic, which paired iconic Pokémon together on single cards to showcase unique synergy and artistic collaboration between legendary and starter species.
The artwork for this specific card was commissioned from illustrator You Iribi, who is known for a clean, dynamic style. Iribi captures a playful interaction between the bulky, cannon-backed Blastoise and the small, enthusiastic Piplup, set against a vibrant watery backdrop. Within the competitive community, the card was widely received for its high HP and the powerful 'Splash Maker' ability, which allowed players to accelerate water energy, securing its place as a staple of the competitive meta during its tournament tenure.
