Where it came from
Relicanth, card number 17/84, was released as part of the EX Power Keepers expansion in 2007, which was marketed under the Pitch Black theme in certain international distributions. As a Water-type Pokémon, the design draws upon the creature's original inspiration as a coelacanth, a prehistoric fish long thought to be extinct. The illustration focuses on the creature's rugged, ancient appearance, capturing its role as a living fossil within the franchise's ecosystem.
The artwork for this card was provided by Kouki Saitou, a prolific artist in the Pokémon Trading Card Game who has contributed hundreds of illustrations since the early 2000s. Saitou is recognized for a distinct, vibrant style that emphasizes the character's personality and natural environment. This card was generally received as a functional addition to the game's competitive landscape during the EX series era, valued by players for its utility in specific card-search strategies.
