Where it came from
The Rockruff SM06 promotional card was released in early 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set. It was distributed primarily through the Rockruff Blister Pack, which served as a tie-in product to the then-recent launch of the Pokémon Sun and Moon video games for the Nintendo 3DS. This release strategy was common for the era, designed to capitalize on the introduction of new Generation VII species by packaging a guaranteed, exclusive promotional card with a selection of booster packs.
The card features an illustration by Kouki Saitou, a long-term contributor to the Pokémon Trading Card Game known for his distinctively clean and expressive style. Saitou captured Rockruff in a dynamic, playful pose that highlights the puppy-like nature of the character while adhering to the standard artistic direction for Fighting-type Pokémon in the Sun and Moon era. The card was well-received by collectors for its accessible nature and its role as an early introduction to the refreshed card layout that defined the Sun and Moon expansion block.
