Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2009 Platinum expansion, this card features the Renegade Pokémon Giratina in its Altered Forme. The set was designed to introduce the Sinnoh region's mysterious Distortion World to the trading card game, marking a shift toward mechanics centered around the unique properties of the Platinum video game titles.

The artwork was illustrated by Kent Kanetsuna, who frequently contributed to the franchise during this era. The design captures Giratina's imposing presence and dark, ethereal aesthetic, aligning with the card's Psychic typing. Upon release, the set was noted for bringing several powerful legendary Pokémon into the competitive rotation, solidifying this iteration of Giratina as a notable piece for collectors focusing on the fourth generation of the series.
