Provenance

Where it came from

The Poké Ball card from the EX Crystal Guardians expansion was released in July 2006 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was themed around the concept of Delta Species Pokémon, which were creatures that had been altered by electromagnetic waves, granting them types different from their natural origins. The expansion aimed to explore the mysterious Holon region, providing a narrative context for these unique mechanical shifts in gameplay.

The design of this specific Trainer card features the classic, iconic red-and-white spherical device used for capturing and storing wild Pokémon. Illustrated by artist Ryo Ueda, the card utilizes a clean, functional aesthetic that prioritizes the card's utility in competitive play. Upon its release, it was regarded as a staple utility card, frequently included in deck lists for its ability to search the deck for a basic Pokémon, reflecting the essential role that Poké Balls play in the core franchise experience.
