Provenance

Where it came from

Choy, known as Hisuian Samurott VSTAR in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, was introduced as part of the Astral Radiance expansion, released in May 2022. This set drew heavy inspiration from the video game Pokémon Legends: Arceus, focusing on the unique regional variants found within the Hisui region. The card depicts a powerful, reimagined version of the classic Samurott, emphasizing the dark, brooding aesthetic characteristic of the Hisuian iteration.

The card was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a prolific studio known for their clean, digital-heavy style frequently utilized for Pokémon V and VSTAR cards. Their design for this ultra-rare card aims to highlight the character’s aggressive stance and shimmering energy, utilizing the high-contrast lighting common to the VSTAR line. Upon its release, it was well-received by competitive players for its tactical utility in the game meta, while collectors valued it for its distinct holographic foiling and role as a flagship representative of the Hisuian collection.
