Provenance

Where it came from

Palkia-GX was released in the 2018 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Ultra Prism, which introduced the Prism Star mechanic and emphasized the lore of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. As part of the expansion's secret rare collection, this card features a rainbow-holofoil finish, a design aesthetic that highlights the texture of the etched artwork while differentiating it from standard card variants.

The card was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a creative team frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company to produce sleek, high-detail digital renderings of Legendary Pokémon. This specific version, numbered 165/156, serves as a high-rarity collectible variant of the Palkia-GX card, designed for players and collectors who prioritize the premium aesthetic of the 'Rainbow Rare' classification.
