Where it came from
The Shining Ho-Oh (SM70) was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series in 2017. It served as a tie-in promotion for the release of the 'Shining Legends' expansion, a special set that reintroduced the 'Shining' Pokémon card mechanic—originally debuted in the Neo Destiny expansion—which featured uniquely colored, shiny versions of legendary Pokémon with distinct, etched holographic artwork.
The card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his clean lines and vibrant, expressive character work. Saitou designed this card to emphasize the radiant, ethereal nature of the legendary bird, utilizing the foil treatment to highlight Ho-Oh's iconic plumage. Upon release, it was distributed primarily through the Shining Legends Figure Collection, which helped bridge the gap between the base Sun & Moon sets and the collector-focused special sets of the era.
