Where it came from
The Swampert ex card, numbered 98/100, was released in the 2006 Crystal Guardians expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was centered on the fictional island of Holon, known for its unique magnetic properties and the presence of Delta Species Pokémon, which featured unusual type-shifting mechanics. The release occurred during the EX series era, a period defined by the introduction of powerful Pokémon-ex cards that featured higher health points and potent attacks, fundamentally shifting the competitive landscape of the game at that time.
The design of the card reflects the aesthetic conventions of the mid-2000s, utilizing a clean, vertical layout that showcases the artwork against a holographic background. The illustration, rendered by artist Ryo Ueda, emphasizes the strength and aquatic nature of Swampert. The card was well-regarded by collectors and players alike for its synergy with the specialized energy cards found in the Crystal Guardians set, solidifying its status as a sought-after staple of the EX-era competitive meta.
