Provenance

Where it came from

The Turtonator SM27 card was released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was designed to coincide with the introduction of the Alola region in the Pokémon trading card game, specifically serving as a promotional inclusion for players and collectors engaging with the early expansions of the seventh generation of Pokémon.

This card features the Blast Turtle Pokémon in a dynamic, fiery aesthetic consistent with the illustrative style prevalent in the Sun & Moon era. It was distributed through official organized play events and retail blister packs, functioning as a collectible bridge between the main set releases while highlighting the unique design of Turtonator, which blends fire-type capabilities with a distinctively armored, defensive appearance.
