Where it came from
Buizel (038/172) was released in 2022 as part of the Brilliant Stars expansion, the ninth main expansion of the Sword & Shield series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set is notable for introducing the Trainer Gallery subset, which features cards with special artwork depicting Pokémon alongside their trainers. As a common card, Buizel serves as a foundational element of the set, designed to provide players with accessible water-type options for deck building while reflecting the established visual aesthetic of the Galar-focused era of the game.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the franchise. Saitou’s depiction focuses on the playful, agile nature of the Sea Weasel Pokémon, utilizing a clean, vibrant style consistent with modern card design standards. Upon its release, the card was widely distributed through booster packs, appealing primarily to players seeking functional gameplay pieces and collectors aiming to complete the expansive Brilliant Stars set.
