Palkia

The Palkia card, numbered 24/73, was released in the Shining Legends expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in late 2017. This set was notable as a special mini-set rather than a core expansion, primarily distributed through premium collection boxes and specialty products rather than standard booster packs. It focused heavily on the 'Shining' variant Pokémon, a nod to the elusive Shiny Pokémon introduced in the second generation of the video games, providing a nostalgic pull for long-time collectors.

The illustration for this card was provided by artist kawayoo, known for their dynamic and painterly style within the Pokémon TCG. In this depiction, Palkia is rendered in a heroic, powerful stance that emphasizes its status as the legendary Spatial Pokémon. The card utilizes a standard holographic foil treatment, distinguishing it from the more elusive 'Shining' cards in the set while maintaining the high-quality, vibrant aesthetic that characterizes the modern era of the game.
