Where it came from
The Dhelmise card, numbered SM53 in the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set, was released in late 2017. As a promotional offering, it was distributed primarily as part of the Dhelmise Pin Blister pack, providing players and collectors with an accessible way to acquire the Grass-type Pokémon, even though this specific print mistakenly categorized it as a Psychic-type card. Its inclusion in the Black Star line highlights the expansive nature of the Sun & Moon TCG era, which focused on introducing Alolan regional forms and new mechanics like GX cards.
The card features artwork by kawayoo, a prolific illustrator known for a dynamic, often textured style that emphasizes the elemental nature of Pokémon. The design captures Dhelmise's menacing, spectral anchor aesthetic, utilizing the bold composition characteristic of the artist's work. While the card is notable for its classification error, it remains a distinct piece of memorabilia from a period defined by the rapid release of promotional content designed to keep the competitive landscape fresh for trainers.
