Decidueye

The Decidueye SM55 promotional card was released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set. This card was distributed exclusively as a foil version within the Decidueye Pin Collection, a themed retail box designed to coincide with the popularity of the Sun & Moon video game titles. It provided players and collectors with an accessible way to obtain the final evolution of the Alola region's grass-type starter, featuring artwork consistent with the aesthetic standards established by the Creatures Inc. design team for the seventh generation of the franchise.

The illustration depicts Decidueye in a characteristic dynamic pose, emphasizing its identity as an archer-themed Pokémon. As a promotional release, the card uses standard game mechanics that mirror its appearance in the base Sun & Moon expansion, though the inclusion of the unique promo numbering distinguishes it for collectors. While not a competitively defining card in the Trading Card Game meta, it remains a notable piece for those documenting the transition of the game into the Sun & Moon era and the promotional marketing strategies employed by The Pokémon Company during that period.
