Delcatty

The Delcatty card, numbered SM132, was released as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. These promotional cards were typically distributed through organized play events, retail blister packs, or specific media tie-ins during the Sun & Moon era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which ran from 2017 to 2020. This card specifically features the elegant Cat Pokémon, Delcatty, showcasing the distinct artistic direction of the era which emphasized clean lines and vibrant, saturated colors to reflect the tropical Alola region setting.

The illustration for this specific promotional release captures Delcatty in a stylized, dynamic pose consistent with the visual standards established by The Pokémon Company’s team of illustrators. As a promotional entry, it functions as a collectible bridge between core set expansions, providing players and collectors with an accessible way to acquire specific species outside of randomized booster pack pulls. The card was generally well-received by collectors who favor the SM-era aesthetic, serving as a staple for fans of Normal-type Pokémon within the competitive and casual landscape of the time.
