Provenance

Where it came from

Released in May 2017 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising expansion, this Wailord card represents the Water-type representation of the massive Float Whale Pokémon. The set was centered around the mysterious Alola region, introducing players to new regional mechanics and Pokémon species that had previously debuted in the seventh generation of the video games.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, whose signature style focuses on emphasizing the sheer scale of the Pokémon in its natural habitat. By placing Wailord against the backdrop of the Alola sea, Saitou successfully captures the creature’s immense stature, a design goal that resonated with fans who appreciated the aesthetic shift toward more scenic and immersive illustrations in the Sun & Moon era.
