Where it came from
Tapu Bulu 016/163 was released in 2021 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Battle Styles. This set introduced the 'Battle Styles' mechanic, which categorized cards into either 'Single Strike' or 'Rapid Strike' playstyles, reflecting the diverse combat philosophies found in the core video games. As a member of the Alolan guardian deities, Tapu Bulu was selected for this set to showcase its role as a Grass-type powerhouse capable of high-impact attacks.
The artwork for this card continues the vibrant aesthetic standard of the modern TCG era, utilizing a holographic finish to emphasize the deity's connection to nature and its imposing physical design. As a Rare Holo card, it served as a mid-tier chase for players looking to bolster their decks with reliable attackers. While not as scarce as the set's Ultra Rare or Secret Rare variants, it remains a recognized entry for fans of the Sun and Moon generation creatures within the Sword and Shield era of the game.
