Provenance

Where it came from

Starly 145/189 was released in 2020 as part of the Sword & Shield: Darkness Ablaze expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its heavy focus on the Legendary Pokémon Eternatus and introduced the powerful VMAX mechanic to the standard rotation, reflecting a period where the card game emphasized high-impact competitive play and expanded aesthetic variety for early-generation Pokémon.

The card features an illustration by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the franchise known for his clean lines and expressive character depictions. Saitou’s work on this card leans into the standard, approachable style of the Sword & Shield era, capturing the bird Pokémon in a flight-ready pose against a soft, stylized backdrop that maintains the consistent visual language expected of common-tier releases.
