Where it came from
The Squirtle card numbered SWSH233 was released in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos set. This card was distributed exclusively as a promotional inclusion within the Pokémon TCG: Divergent Powers Tin, a product line designed to highlight different regional variants and evolutions. By utilizing the Black Star Promo designation, The Pokémon Company provided collectors with a distinct aesthetic identity separate from the standard core expansion sets.
The illustration for this card was provided by artist kawayoo, a long-time contributor to the trading card game known for a dynamic, often textured art style. The design captures Squirtle in a classic, lighthearted pose intended to evoke the character's core identity as a Water-type starter. Like many cards in the Black Star series, it was released to coincide with the broader multimedia momentum of the Pokémon franchise, serving as a accessible entry point for new collectors and a thematic addition for those pursuing comprehensive promotional sets.
