Provenance

Where it came from

Chien-Pao was introduced in the ninth generation of the Pokémon franchise as one of the four Treasures of Ruin, legendary Pokémon based on cursed artifacts from Chinese mythology. This specific card, numbered 057/182, debuted in the Paradox Rift expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which focused on the mysterious and powerful Paradox Pokémon first encountered in the Paldea region.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is known for his dynamic and vibrant depiction of Pokémon in various sets throughout the game's history.
