Where it came from
The Magikarp card numbered XY143 was released in 2016 as part of the XY Black Star Promos set. It was distributed specifically as a promotional item included in the Pokémon TCG: Generations Mythical Pokémon Collection—Shaymin box. This set was designed to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Pokémon franchise, aiming to highlight iconic creatures from the series' history while offering players unique, alternate-art versions of established cards.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-regarded in the trading card game community for his dynamic and expressive depictions of Pokémon. In this iteration, Saitou focused on a whimsical, high-energy aesthetic that emphasizes the character's signature splash move. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors for its availability and its contribution to the celebratory nature of the twentieth-anniversary product line.
