Provenance

Where it came from

Flapple, a Grass- and Dragon-type Pokémon, made its TCG debut as part of the SWSH Black Star Promos series. Released in early 2022, this card was specifically designed to accompany the release of the Evolving Skies expansion. It was distributed as a promotional insert within the Evolving Skies Single Pack Blisters, serving as a way to provide collectors and players with a direct, non-randomized version of the character alongside the new set's main cards.

The artwork for this card was rendered by artist sowsow, who is known for a distinctive, soft, and painterly digital style. In this depiction, Flapple is illustrated in its iconic apple-like form, emphasizing its playful yet creature-like biology. The card features the unique Dragon-type classification that returned to the TCG during the Sword & Shield era, and it was generally well-received by the community as an accessible and aesthetically charming addition to the promotional lineup.
