Provenance

Where it came from

The Shinx card, numbered 74/99, was released in the Arceus expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in late 2009. This set served as the final installment of the Diamond & Pearl series, intended to highlight the Mythical Pokémon Arceus and conclude the Sinnoh-region era of the game before the transition to the HeartGold & SoulSilver sets.

This card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-regarded for his clean, dynamic character portraits. His illustration captures Shinx in a typical, alert posture consistent with its Electric-type classification, maintaining the accessible and recognizable aesthetic expected of common-tier cards meant to bolster basic-level gameplay during that competitive cycle.
