Where it came from
The Darkrai card, numbered XY22 within the XY Black Star Promos set, was released in 2014 as part of the promotional support for the Pokémon Trading Card Game's transition into the XY expansion block. These promotional cards were typically distributed through specific retail partnerships, such as blister packs or event-exclusive collections, serving as an incentive for players to engage with the new generation of cards introduced following the success of the Pokémon X and Y video games.
The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, who captured the mythical Pokémon's shadowy and ethereal essence through a sharp, high-contrast illustration style that became synonymous with the era's promotional aesthetic. As a Darkness-type card, it was designed to integrate into the competitive meta of the time, and its release was well-received by collectors who prioritized the acquisition of distinct, non-numbered set variants to complete their broader XY-era portfolios.
