Where it came from
Xurkitree-GX, released as card number SM68 within the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set, highlights one of the Ultra Beasts introduced in the seventh generation of the Pokémon franchise. These extraterrestrial creatures were designed by Ken Sugimori and his team to contrast significantly with traditional Pokémon aesthetics, utilizing surreal, geometry-based appearances that reflect their interdimensional origins. This specific card was distributed as part of a promotional campaign, often bundled within special retail blister packs or collection boxes to support the ongoing Sun & Moon TCG expansion cycle.
The card features an illustration by artist Hitoshi Ariga, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon trading card game. Ariga’s design for this GX variant emphasizes the erratic, wire-like anatomy of Xurkitree, capturing the creature's high-voltage energy through vibrant, crackling lighting effects. Upon its release, the card was noted by players for its unique 'Flash Ray' ability, which provided a strategic defensive niche in the competitive meta-game by protecting the player from damage dealt by non-Ultra Beast Pokémon.
