Where it came from
The Ho-Oh-GX card, numbered SM57 within the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series, was released in 2017 to coincide with the launch of the Burning Shadows expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It served as an oversized card inclusion in the Ho-Oh-GX Premium Collection, a boxed set designed to highlight the legendary Johto Pokémon. The release was part of a larger effort during the Sun & Moon era to integrate the powerful GX mechanic into the meta, which allowed players to use one highly impactful 'GX' move per game.
The card features artwork by 5ban Graphics, a creative collective frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company for digital illustration work. Their style for this release focused on a sleek, high-contrast digital aesthetic that emphasized the metallic sheen associated with the GX card frame. It was well-received by collectors who preferred the structured, holographic finish of the Sun & Moon promo sets, and it remains a notable piece for those documenting the transition into the GX-era of competitive play.
