Where it came from
The Solgaleo-GX card was introduced in the 2017 Sun & Moon base set, marking the debut of the GX mechanic in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As the legendary mascot of Pokémon Sun, Solgaleo was depicted as a powerful metal-type Pokémon, reflecting its role as the Radiant Sun Pokémon. The introduction of GX cards was designed to replace the previous generation's Mega Evolution and EX mechanics, focusing on high-HP Pokémon with unique 'GX attacks' that could be used only once per game.
The artwork for this specific card, numbered 89/149, was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a studio frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company for digital-style holographic renderings. The design features a dynamic, metallic foil treatment characteristic of the Sun & Moon era's aesthetic, emphasizing the character's celestial and solar motifs. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its 'Sunsteel Strike' attack and 'Turbo Strike' ability, which allowed for efficient energy acceleration in metal-themed decks.
