Where it came from
The Moltres card, numbered SM143, was released as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set, which served as a home for various promotional cards distributed through specific channels outside of main expansion sets. This particular card was released in 2018 and was included in the Shiny Silvally GX Box, a product designed to spotlight the legendary Pokémon Silvally while offering players a curated selection of promotional cards and booster packs.
The illustration for this card was provided by artist Atsuko Nishida, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon Trading Card Game known for her distinctive and soft artistic style. The design captures Moltres in a dynamic, sweeping pose that emphasizes its fiery nature and mythical status, adhering to the standard aesthetic of the Sun & Moon era which favored vivid colors and clean, modern card layouts. It was well-received by players and collectors for its high-quality artwork and its status as a non-randomized promotional inclusion.
