Where it came from
The Volcanion card, numbered XY145, was released in late 2016 as part of the XY Black Star Promos series. It was distributed specifically as a foil promotional card included in the Volcanion Mythical Collection box, a set designed to highlight the Steam Pokémon which had recently debuted in the core games and the nineteenth Pokémon film, Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.
The illustration for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a veteran Pokémon TCG artist known for his vibrant, dynamic compositions. In this iteration, Volcanion is depicted in a powerful stance that emphasizes its dual Fire and Water typing, utilizing the metallic aesthetic common to the XY-era promo cards to capture the creature's volcanic, mechanical nature. It was well-received by players and collectors of the era for its distinct holographic pattern and its role in broadening the accessibility of the Mythical Pokémon roster.
