Where it came from
The Inkay card, numbered SV17/94, was released as part of the Hidden Fates expansion, which debuted in late 2019. This set is particularly notable for its 'Shiny Vault' subset, a collection of alternate-colored Pokémon that paid homage to the beloved shiny mechanics introduced in earlier generations. The design focuses on the distinct neon-blue aesthetic of the shiny Inkay, a marked departure from its standard maroon and beige color palette, intended to create a visually striking contrast for collectors.
The artistic direction for this card follows the established aesthetic of the Sun & Moon era, emphasizing clean lines and vibrant, high-saturation colors typical of the Shiny Vault series. As an ultra-rare entry, the card was produced with a textured holofoil finish that distinguishes it from common releases. Upon its arrival, the card was received warmly by the community, serving as a popular chase item for fans of the dark and psychic types who sought to complete the comprehensive shiny collection.
