Where it came from
The Tepig card, numbered BW02 in the Black Star Promos series, was released in 2011 as part of the promotional material for the Pokémon Black and White expansion. It was specifically distributed through McDonald's restaurants in North America as part of a collaborative set that featured several starter Pokémon from the Unova region. These cards were designed to introduce players to the fifth generation of the franchise, serving as a gateway for young collectors during the launch of the Black and White video games.
The card features artwork by illustrator Ken Sugimori, who has been the primary character designer for the Pokémon series since its inception. Sugimori’s design for this promo reflects his signature clean, minimalist style, emphasizing the character's rounded features and fire-type aesthetic. The release was well-received by the collector community as an accessible entry point to the new generation, and it remains a staple for completionist collectors of the BW-era promotional sets.
