Provenance

Where it came from

The Wailord card, numbered 26/124, was released in the Dragons Exalted expansion in August 2012. This set served as the English-language equivalent of the Japanese 'Dragon Blast' and 'Dragon Blade' sets, marking a significant era in the Black & White series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The card was designed to highlight the colossal scale of the Float Whale Pokémon, utilizing the Holo Rare rarity to emphasize its presence within the set's broader focus on Dragon-type Pokémon.

The artwork for this specific card was executed by illustrator Kagemaru Himeno, a long-standing artist for the Pokémon franchise known for her emotive and detailed style. In this depiction, Wailord is captured in a dynamic aquatic scene, reflecting the creature's immense size and signature typing. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike for its striking holographic treatment and its role as a representative of the generation's water-type roster.
