Where it came from
The Salamence-GX card, numbered SM139, was released as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series in 2018. It was issued specifically as an oversized card included within the Salamence-GX Box, a retail package designed to promote the trading card game's expansion into the Dragon-type mechanics of the Sun & Moon era. This era prioritized high-HP, high-damage GX attacks, and Salamence was selected as a featured mascot to leverage the enduring popularity of this final-evolution pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
The illustration is credited to 5ban Graphics, a design studio frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company to produce sleek, 3D-rendered character art for the TCG. By utilizing a stylized digital rendering rather than hand-drawn traditional media, the design leans into the contemporary aesthetic of the Sun & Moon block, emphasizing the metallic textures and holographic sheen typical of GX-era cards. The release was well-received by collectors who prioritize complete promo sets, serving as an accessible entry point for those looking to acquire a specific GX-tier card without relying on booster pack randomization.
