Where it came from
The Shaymin-EX card, numbered 5/99, was introduced in the 2012 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Next Destinies. This set marked the return of the Pokémon-EX mechanic to the TCG, a design feature that showcased powerful, high-HP Pokémon with unique illustrations that typically featured holographic foiling across the entire card. As a Mythical Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation, Shaymin was chosen for this release to highlight the dual-type nature and agile combat style associated with the character in the video game series.
The card’s artwork follows the aesthetic direction established by the Black & White series, emphasizing a dynamic, high-energy pose for Shaymin. Illustrator Eske Yoshinob, known for their distinctively clean and vibrant digital style, was responsible for the piece. Upon its release, the card was received favorably by collectors for its aesthetic appeal, while competitive players focused on its integration into the era's specialized deck strategies that leveraged the EX card type's unique risk-reward structure.
