Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2011 Black & White expansion, this Samurott card served as a key representation of the Generation V starter evolutions introduced in the Pokémon video games of the same name. As a Rare Holo card, it was designed to highlight the final evolution of Oshawott, focusing on its signature dual-wielding samurai aesthetic, which was a significant shift toward more thematic, culture-inspired creature designs in the series.

The artwork for this card was created by 5ban Graphics, a collaborative studio frequently employed by The Pokémon Company during this era. The aesthetic leans into a high-gloss, digital illustration style intended to showcase the reflective, metallic textures of the character's armor. It was well-received by players of the era for its utility in the trading card game meta, particularly as a centerpiece for Water-type decks that leveraged its Shell Armor ability.
