Provenance

Where it came from

The Dragonite card from the Dragon Vault set was released in 2012 as part of a specialized mini-expansion centered entirely around Dragon-type Pokémon. This set was unique for its limited scope, acting as a bridge between the Black & White series expansions and providing a dedicated spotlight for the newly emphasized Dragon typing introduced in the trading card game during that era.

The design of this Dragonite card features the signature holographic treatment characteristic of the Dragon Vault set, which utilized a distinctive foil pattern to highlight the powerful, pseudo-legendary status of the subject. While illustrated by a rotation of artists common to the Pokémon TCG, this card was aimed at competitive players and collectors alike, intended to provide accessible access to high-tier Dragon-type cards during a period when the mechanic was undergoing significant evolution in the meta.
