Provenance

Where it came from

The Quaquaval ex card was released as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which hit international markets in mid-2023. This set served to introduce the second major wave of Generation IX Pokémon, focusing on the region of Paldea. As a Hyper Rare secret-rare card, it is part of a special tier of highly textured, gold-etched collectibles designed to stand out within the broader series as a pinnacle of artistic craftsmanship.

The card features artwork by illustrator PLANETA Mochizuki, a staple artist in the Pokémon TCG known for their distinctively rendered 3D-style models. The design focuses on Quaquaval in its signature dancing pose, utilizing the gold-foil aesthetic characteristic of Hyper Rare cards to emphasize the character's flamboyant personality and tropical motif. It was released to celebrate the introduction of the 'ex' mechanic to the modern game, which brought back the high-HP, high-damage gameplay style that debuted in the early 2000s.
