Where it came from
The Steelix card from the Cosmic Eclipse expansion, released in late 2019, represents the final main set of the Sun & Moon series. As a secret rare, this card features a distinct golden finish, showcasing the design aesthetic that defined high-rarity cards during the latter stages of the Sun & Moon era. It was intended as a visual centerpiece for collectors, emphasizing a metallic texture that complements the Steel-type theme of the Pokémon itself.
The illustration was handled by a commissioned artist within the Pokémon Trading Card Game creative team, focusing on a minimalist and stylized portrayal that distinguishes it from standard set cards. Upon release, the set was noted for its extensive roster and the inclusion of various secret rares, which were received by the community as a bridge between the traditional card mechanics of the Sun & Moon era and the more expansive collector-focused designs that would follow in subsequent generations.
