Provenance

Where it came from

Released in February 2022 as part of the Brilliant Stars expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Hitmontop card is part of the Sword & Shield series. The set was highly anticipated for introducing the Trainer Gallery subset, which integrated artwork featuring both Pokémon and their trainers, though this particular card remains a standard uncommon release reflecting the set's broader mechanical focus on VSTAR evolutions.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his dynamic character poses. His design highlights Hitmontop's signature capoeira-inspired fighting stance, emphasizing its fluid movement. As an uncommon card, it was widely distributed within booster packs, serving as a staple fighting-type option for players navigating the competitive landscape of the time.
