Provenance

Where it came from

The Champions Festival card was created as a commemorative promotional release for the Pokémon World Championships. These cards are exclusively awarded to competitors and staff participating in the annual tournament, serving as a rare artifact marking the pinnacle of competitive play for each respective season. The card is highly sought after by collectors not only for its low distribution but for its role as a tangible piece of the event's history.

The design of the SM231 iteration, illustrated by Naoki Saito, features a vibrant, festive scene depicting various iconic Pokémon gathering together in a style synonymous with the joyous spirit of the championships. Saito, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, utilized a celebratory aesthetic intended to capture the camaraderie of the global event. Upon its release in 2019, the card was well-received by the enthusiast community, who prized it as one of the most prestigious modern promos in the Sun & Moon era.
