Provenance

Where it came from

The Garchomp-EX card, designated as XY09 within the XY Black Star Promos series, was released in 2014 as part of the promotional support for the Pokémon Trading Card Game's XY expansion block. This era of the game transitioned players into the Kalos region, emphasizing the introduction of the Fairy type and the powerful EX card mechanic, which featured high-HP Pokémon-EX that provided two prize cards upon being knocked out.

The card features artwork by Ryo Ueda, an established illustrator who often employs a dynamic, high-energy style suitable for Dragon-type Pokémon. His depiction of Garchomp emphasizes its predatory nature and speed, fitting the character's role as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Upon release, the card was primarily distributed through the Garchomp-EX Box, serving as a tactical entry point for players looking to integrate Dragon-type strategies into their decks.
