Provenance

Where it came from

The Tepig card, designated as SWSH172, was released in late 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos set. It was distributed specifically within the Pokémon TCG: Knock Out Collection, a specialty retail blister pack designed to offer collectors and players a selection of cards from the then-current Sword & Shield era. This release strategy allowed fans to acquire specific reprints or promotional variants outside of traditional expansion booster packs.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-regarded for his soft, character-focused depictions of Pokémon. Saitou’s design emphasizes the playful, rounded aesthetic of Tepig, capturing the Fire-type starter in a vibrant, high-energy stance typical of his portfolio. The card was received by the community as a accessible, high-quality promo card that highlighted the charm of the Unova region starters while maintaining the modern layout standards of the Sword & Shield series.
