Provenance

Where it came from

The Darkrai V card, numbered 098/189, was released in the 2022 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Astral Radiance. This set draws heavy thematic inspiration from the Nintendo Switch title Pokémon Legends: Arceus, focusing on the Hisui region and the mysterious, ancient powers associated with legendary Pokémon like Darkrai. The card was introduced as part of the V mechanic, a standard introduced in the Sword & Shield series that emphasizes high-HP Basic Pokémon with powerful, synergistic attacks.

The illustration for this specific card features the 'Pitch-Black' Pokémon in a dynamic, shadowy aesthetic consistent with the typical design language of the V card series. By utilizing a dark-type color palette and stark contrast, the artist captures the nocturnal essence of the character. As an ultra-rare hit from the set, it was received by players and collectors alike as a desirable inclusion for competitive deck-building, particularly for those prioritizing darkness-type acceleration strategies.
