Where it came from
Staraptor card number 97/116 was released as part of the Plasma Freeze expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2013. This set was notable for its heavy focus on Team Plasma, a villainous organization from the Unova region, characterized by unique card designs featuring their signature metallic-blue border and emblem. As a colorless-type card, this Staraptor iteration was designed to integrate into various deck archetypes, serving as a tactical utility piece within the established gameplay mechanics of the Black & White Series era.
The artwork for this particular card was commissioned from illustrator Akira Komayama, whose clean, dynamic style often emphasizes the movement and anatomy of the featured creatures. In this illustration, Staraptor is captured in a high-energy pose typical of Komayama's contributions to the franchise, aimed at conveying the predatory nature and swift flight capabilities of the Raptor Pokémon. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard rare, valued by players for its role in the competitive landscape of the time, while collectors sought it out to complete the 116-card set.
