Provenance

Where it came from

The Ultra Ball card, appearing as number 68/73 in the Shining Legends expansion, was released in October 2017. This special subset was designed to celebrate the legendary and mythical Pokémon, and as such, featured a distinct holographic treatment and gold-bordered packaging that set it apart from standard series releases of the era. The Ultra Ball itself serves as a staple card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, consistently printed across various sets to provide players with a reliable, albeit costly, way to search their deck for specific Pokémon.

The artwork for this particular iteration of the Ultra Ball is defined by the clean, utilitarian design language consistent with modern card mechanics. Designed by Studio Bora Inc., the illustration focuses on the technical functionality of the item, presenting the sleek, black-and-yellow aesthetics of the Ultra Ball against a neutral, high-contrast background. In the competitive circuit, this card is regarded for its strategic utility, maintaining its status as a foundational piece for deck-building despite its classification as an uncommon card.
