Provenance

Where it came from

The Salamence-EX card, designated as XY170, was released as part of the XY Black Star Promos series in 2016. It was specifically distributed through the Salamence-EX Box, a retail product that catered to the competitive landscape of the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the XY era. The card served as a focal point for players looking to incorporate the powerful Dragon-type Pokémon into their decks, capitalizing on the popularity of the creature first introduced in the third generation of games.

The artwork for this promotional printing is credited to Eske Yoshinob, a recurring illustrator for the franchise known for a dynamic, high-energy style. Yoshinob’s illustration captures Salamence in a characteristic mid-flight pose, emphasizing its formidable wingspan and aggressive posture. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors and players alike for its distinct holofoil treatment and its utility as a reliable, heavy-hitting attacker within the established meta-game of the time.
