Where it came from
The Hisuian Samurott VSTAR card was released in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield—Astral Radiance expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This specific iteration represents the Hisuian regional form of Samurott, a variant introduced in the video game Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which reimagined the creatures within the lore of the Hisui region. The card features a distinct 'Rainbow Rare' aesthetic common to the VSTAR cycle, designed to emphasize the powerful, high-tier status of the Pokémon within the game's competitive mechanics.
The artwork for this card was crafted by illustrator N-DESIGN Inc., a studio frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company to produce dynamic character illustrations. The design process for this secret rare variant focuses on a luminous, holographic foil finish that highlights the jagged, aggressive design of Hisuian Samurott's shell-armor. Upon its release, it was well-received by collectors who favored the integration of Legends: Arceus content into the traditional card game, marking a significant crossover between the franchise's digital console titles and the physical card collecting hobby.
