Provenance

Where it came from

The Floatzel card (039/172) was released in 2022 as part of the Brilliant Stars expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set is notable for introducing the VSTAR mechanic, which blended modern card power creep with high-quality artistic illustrations. As an uncommon card, Floatzel was designed to provide functional utility for players while contributing to the cohesive aesthetic of the Sinnoh region-themed cards featured in this specific set.

The illustration for this card was created by Taira Akitsu, an artist who has contributed a variety of Pokémon designs to the franchise. Akitsu's approach here captures Floatzel in a dynamic, aquatic environment, emphasizing the creature's agility and signature inflatable flotation sac. Like many cards of its rarity tier in the Sword and Shield era, it was received as a standard piece of gameplay material, valued by collectors for its clean, modern art style and consistent print quality.
