Provenance

Where it came from

The Skarmory-EX card was introduced in the XY expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released internationally in early 2014. This set marked the debut of the Pokémon-EX mechanic in the Generation VI era, designed to showcase powerful, high-HP versions of iconic Pokémon. Skarmory-EX was specifically included as a Rare Ultra card, featuring the distinct silver-bordered aesthetic and holographic foil treatment synonymous with the EX series.

The card was illustrated by Eske Yoshinob, a recurring artist known for a dynamic, metallic style that emphasizes the sharp contours of mechanical or steel-type Pokémon. Yoshinob’s rendering of Skarmory focuses on a dramatic, low-angle perspective to highlight the Steel-type’s formidable armor. Upon its release, the card was noted by players for its 'Steel Feather' ability and its utility in the competitive meta, where it served as a reliable defensive pivot in early XY-format decks.
