Where it came from
The Walrein card from the Rising Rivals expansion was released in 2009 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its focus on Gym Leaders and Elite Four trainers, drawing inspiration from the Pokémon Platinum video game. The expansion introduced SP Pokémon, reflecting the strategic gameplay shift toward trainer-focused cards that defined the era.
The illustration for this card was provided by Kagemaru Himeno, a long-standing artist in the Pokémon TCG world. Her style for this piece emphasizes the bulky, imposing nature of Walrein, utilizing a dynamic pose to capture its ice-type power. Upon release, the card was received as a solid rare inclusion for players building water-based decks, appreciated for its consistency in the competitive environment of the time.
