Provenance

Where it came from

The Kyurem card from the Dragon Vault set was released in October 2012 as part of a specialized mini-set within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to introduce the Dragon type as a distinct category in the card game, a significant shift in mechanics that reflected the introduction of Dragon-type Pokémon in the fifth generation of the video games. By centering the set around powerful, high-energy dragons, The Pokémon Company aimed to highlight this new tactical element for competitive players.

The card itself features artwork by 5ban Graphics, a creative collective frequently commissioned for modern Pokémon TCG illustrations. Their design approach emphasizes a sleek, digital aesthetic intended to capture the imposing, icy presence of Kyurem, a Legendary Pokémon from the Unova region. The card is noted for its high-gloss holofoil treatment and distinct set symbol, and it was primarily distributed through specialized blister packs, making it a distinct inclusion for collectors documenting the debut era of Dragon-type cards.
