Provenance

Where it came from

Giratina-EX was released in August 2012 as part of the Dragons Exalted expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant milestone by introducing the Dragon type as an official, distinct category of Pokémon in the game, ending the long-standing practice of assigning Dragon-type creatures to the Colorless type. The set was designed to emphasize the powerful and often legendary nature of these creatures, with the Ultra-Rare 'EX' designation highlighting their dominance in competitive play through high hit points and potent attacks.

The card features artwork by Shizurow, a prominent illustrator known for a sharp, digitally-rendered aesthetic that often emphasizes heavy armor and complex mechanical or ethereal details. For this piece, Shizurow leaned into Giratina’s Altered Forme, capturing its imposing, ghostly presence against a stark background that emphasizes the card's status as a top-tier pull. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its 'Dragon Pulse' and 'Shred' attacks, which were specifically balanced to challenge the prevailing meta-game strategies of the time.
