Where it came from
The Oranguru SM13 card was released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was designed as a promotional inclusion for the Oranguru Pin Collection, a retail product that allowed players to add a specific colorless-type Pokémon to their collections outside of standard expansion set pulls. This release strategy was common during the Sun & Moon era, where individual promotional cards were packaged with pins and booster packs to coincide with the introduction of new Pokémon from the Alola region.
The card features artwork by Naoki Saito, a prominent illustrator known for his dynamic character designs. Saito's rendering of Oranguru captures the creature's intellectual and stoic nature, emphasizing its primate-like features and signature fan. Upon its release, the card became a significant item within the competitive trading card game circuit due to its 'Instruct' ability, which allowed players to draw cards until they held three, making it a staple utility piece for many deck archetypes throughout the Sun & Moon era.
