Provenance

Where it came from

Salamence V (143/189) was released in the 2020 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Darkness Ablaze. This set served as the third main expansion in the Sword & Shield Series, drawing heavily from the Japanese V Starter Decks and the Infinity Zone set. The card was created to showcase the Dragon-type Pokémon Salamence, rendered here as a Colorless-type card, which was a standard mechanical adjustment for the Sword & Shield era of the game.

The artwork for this specific card features a striking digital illustration by artist 5ban Graphics. Known for their consistent, sleek style across numerous Pokémon V and VMAX cards, the design team aimed to emphasize the aggressive, aerodynamic nature of the species. Upon release, the card was received as a staple of the Darkness Ablaze set, favored by players for its 'Sonic Wing' attack and valued by collectors for its status as a foundational ultra-rare V card within the generation.
