Lore

Why it matters

Part of the Ancient Origins expansion, this Kyurem-EX features the legendary Ice-type Pokémon in its standard form as a powerful Pokémon-EX card. Collectors prize these Ultra Rare cards for their distinct holographic treatment and the mechanic that awards two prize cards to an opponent when knocked out, making them a significant staple of the mid-2010s competitive landscape.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Kyurem-EX card, numbered 25/98, was released in the Ancient Origins expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2015. This set served as the seventh expansion in the XY series, a period marked by the introduction of powerful Pokémon-EX cards that featured higher HP and stronger attacks compared to their standard counterparts, fundamentally shifting the game's competitive landscape toward faster, more aggressive playstyles.

The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, an illustrator known for their stylized, high-contrast digital renderings of Pokémon. By depicting the Legendary Boundary Pokémon in an aggressive, icy stance, the design emphasizes its status as a formidable Water-type attacker. Within the community, the card was received as a solid utility piece, frequently discussed by players for its ability to exert early-game pressure through its Glaciate attack, which spreads damage across the opponent's board.
