Provenance

Where it came from

Moltres, the legendary fire bird, appeared as card number 38/214 in the Lost Thunder expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which was released internationally in November 2018. This set was notable for its extensive size and its focus on integrating Pokémon from the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon video games, bridging the gap between generations of players.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, whose work is highly regarded by collectors for its vibrant color palettes and dynamic sense of motion. As a rare-tier card, it serves as a standard collectible rather than a competitive meta-staple, valued primarily for its role in showcasing the iconic design of the legendary bird within the modern game's updated mechanics.
