Provenance

Where it came from

The Great Ball card from the Stormfront expansion was released in late 2008 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Diamond & Pearl series. This set was notable for its integration of Pokémon from the Sinnoh region and the introduction of powerful trainer and stadium cards that aimed to shift the competitive landscape of the time.

The card features artwork by illustrator Ryo Ueda, who contributed numerous pieces to the franchise throughout the late 2000s. The design utilizes the standard frame aesthetics of the Diamond & Pearl era, intended to assist players in searching their decks for specific Pokémon, a mechanical utility that made it a functional staple for casual deck-building during its inclusion in the active rotation.
