Provenance

Where it came from

Palafin, the Hero Pokémon, was introduced in the ninth generation of the Pokémon series within the Scarlet and Violet games. Its distinctive design reflects a clever play on the superhero trope, transitioning from a seemingly unassuming dolphin form into its more powerful 'Hero Form' when swapped out of battle. This specific illustration rare card, numbered 225/91, was released as part of the Paldean Fates expansion in early 2024, a set celebrated by collectors for focusing on Shiny Pokémon.

The artwork for this card was rendered by illustrator Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon Trading Card Game known for his dynamic and character-focused style. Saitou's design captures Palafin in its baseline, gentle state, utilizing a soft color palette and a tranquil underwater setting. The card's status as an Illustration Rare highlights the artistic shift in the modern TCG toward cards that prioritize expressive, narrative-driven visuals over traditional combat-oriented layouts, which has been met with considerable acclaim from hobbyists.
