Provenance

Where it came from

The Reshiram-EX card, designated BW36, was released as part of the Black & White Series Black Star Promos in 2012. It served as a promotional tie-in for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released to coincide with the broader distribution of the Unova region's legendary Pokémon. The card was specifically designed to highlight the powerful EX mechanic introduced during this era, which featured Pokémon with higher HP and significantly more potent attacks than their standard counterparts, reflecting the shift toward faster, more aggressive gameplay in the competitive meta.

The illustration was handled by artist Eske Yoshinob, a prolific contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his dynamic, high-energy compositions. Yoshinob’s approach for Reshiram-EX emphasizes the creature's formidable presence, utilizing sweeping lines and fiery aesthetics to evoke the legendary dragon's status as a dual Fire and Dragon-type. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its tactical utility and by collectors for the striking, holographic foil treatment that defined the EX aesthetic during the Black & White promotional cycle.
