Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2012 Dragons Exalted expansion, this Rayquaza-EX card marked a significant moment in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as it introduced the Dragon-type to the card game mechanics. Created by The Pokémon Company International, the set was designed to emphasize the power and scarcity of these legendary creatures, aligning with the introduction of the Dragon-type in the concurrent video games. Its inclusion served as a strategic expansion of the game's elemental triangle, providing a new layer of complexity for competitive players.

The card features an intricate, full-body illustration by artist Eske Yoshinob, who utilized a sleek, high-contrast aesthetic to highlight Rayquaza’s serpentine, celestial design. Yoshinob’s work on this card is noted for its dynamic composition, which emphasizes the character’s aggressive posture and textured, metallic detailing typical of the EX series. Upon its release, it was highly sought after by collectors and players alike, praised for both its competitive viability—specifically its Dragon Burst attack—and its status as a foundational piece for the newly debuted Dragon-type cards.
