Provenance

Where it came from

The Poké Ball card from the Black & White base set was released in 2011 as part of the initial expansion of the fifth generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant transition in the game's mechanics, introducing the new card layout that featured wider borders and updated ability designations, aiming to refresh the aesthetic for a new era of players.

The card was illustrated by Toyste Beach, whose clean, minimalist style captures the iconic design of the standard Poké Ball. As a staple utility card, it was designed to provide players with a reliable, albeit chance-based, method to search their deck for Pokémon, reflecting the central theme of exploration and capture within the franchise.
