Provenance

Where it came from

The Tyranitar-EX card, numbered 42/98, was released in the 2015 Ancient Origins expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set served as the third major release in the XY series, designed to integrate mechanics from the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire video games while highlighting powerful EX Pokémon, which were introduced in the Black & White series to represent evolved, high-HP versions of established creatures.

The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, who utilized a bold, action-oriented digital style characteristic of the mid-2010s TCG era. As an Ultra Rare Holo EX, the card emphasizes a metallic, foil-heavy aesthetic and high combat utility, reflecting the competitive focus of the XY era where EX cards were essential for high-level play. It was received by the community as a significant chase card for its striking visual design and its synergy with other darkness-type support cards available at the time.
