Where it came from
The Tapu Bulu-GX card, designated SM32, was released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was distributed specifically within the Tapu Bulu-GX Figure Collection, a retail set that bundled the oversized card, the standard-sized holographic promo, and a sculpted figure of the guardian deity of Ula'ula Island. This distribution method was common during the Sun & Moon era, designed to showcase the new GX mechanic, which allowed powerful Pokémon to utilize special moves once per game.
The card features artwork by 5ban Graphics, a creative studio frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company to produce high-gloss, digital illustrations for the Trading Card Game. Their design aesthetic emphasizes sharp, metallic textures and bold, dynamic posing, which aligns with the Tapu Bulu's thematic role as a formidable, heavy-hitting Grass-type guardian. Upon release, the card saw competitive play due to its Nature's Judgment attack, which allowed players to discard Energy cards to deal significant damage, making it a staple in various Grass-focused deck archetypes of the time.
