Provenance

Where it came from

Cynthia's Ambition was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sword & Shield—Brilliant Stars expansion in early 2022. The card features Cynthia, a popular and powerful champion character from the Sinnoh region, depicted in a full-art Trainer Supporter style. This card design emphasizes the character's status and gravity, utilizing the vibrant, high-detail aesthetic characteristic of the Sword & Shield era's ultra-rare trainer cards.

The artwork was illustrated by Yusuke Ohmura, a longtime character designer for the Pokémon series who is credited with the original design of Cynthia. By featuring Ohmura's own vision of the character, the card was received warmly by collectors and players as an authentic representation of a beloved figure. It remains a notable entry in the Brilliant Stars set, prized for both its mechanical utility in competitive play and its artistic connection to the core Pokémon games.
