Provenance

Where it came from

Tapu Koko V, numbered 072/202, was introduced as part of the Sword & Shield base set, which launched in early 2020. This expansion marked the beginning of the Generation VIII era for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, transitioning the competitive meta to include the V mechanic. These cards replaced the GX mechanics of the previous generation, emphasizing higher HP totals and streamlined attack costs to facilitate faster gameplay.

The card features artwork by illustrator PLANETA Mochizuki, who is known for a distinctive 3D-rendered style common in modern Pokémon card design. The illustration portrays the guardian deity of Ula'ula Island in a dynamic, high-energy stance consistent with its role as an Electric-type Legendary Pokémon. Upon release, the card was received as a functional staple for Lightning-type decks, though it eventually saw its playability eclipsed by subsequent VMAX and VSTAR iterations.
