Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2012 Dark Explorers expansion, this Kyogre-EX card was designed to capitalize on the introduction of the powerful EX mechanic in the Black & White series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the debut of these high-HP, high-damage cards in the Next Destinies set, Kyogre-EX was crafted to represent the legendary Hoenn region mascot, emphasizing its status as a formidable water-type titan with its signature Dual Splash attack.

The card features dynamic illustration by artist Eske Yoshinob, who utilized a sleek, sharp aesthetic characteristic of the EX-era card design. By focusing on a clean, aggressive pose for Kyogre against a dark, contrasting background, the design aimed to evoke the dark-themed aesthetic of the set while highlighting the rarity of the holographic foil treatment. It was well-received by competitive players at the time for its utility in bench-damaging strategies, becoming a staple for many water-focused decks during its tournament legality.
