Provenance

Where it came from

The Water Energy card, numbered 231/198, was released as part of the Chilling Reign expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in June 2021. This set was heavily inspired by the Crown Tundra downloadable content for the Pokémon Sword and Shield video games, focusing on themes of ice, snow, and legendary Pokémon like Calyrex, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres in their Galarian forms.

This particular card is a secret-rare variant, distinguished by its textured, gold-etched foil finish that deviates from the standard base energy cards found in the set. It was designed to offer players and collectors a high-end, aesthetic upgrade to their decks, emphasizing a premium feel through the use of intricate patterns and metallic substrates that were a hallmark of the Sword and Shield era's secret rare subsets.
