Provenance

Where it came from

The Poké Ball card from the Kalos Starter Set was released in 2013 to coincide with the launch of the Pokémon X and Y video games for the Nintendo 3DS. As a core component of this introductory deck, the card was designed to help new players familiarize themselves with the fundamental mechanics of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, specifically the role of item cards in searching for essential resources.

The card features artwork consistent with the visual aesthetic of the XY era, emphasizing a clean, functional design intended for ease of use in casual gameplay. While it is a common staple within the series, this specific printing serves as a nostalgic touchstone for the transition into the sixth generation of Pokémon, reflecting the game's focus on introducing the Kalos region to a global audience.
