Provenance

Where it came from

The Zacian V-UNION card was released in September 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos set, specifically distributed through the Zacian V-UNION Special Collection. This unique mechanic introduced the V-UNION concept, where a single playable Pokémon is represented by four separate cards that must be assembled on the bench to function during a match.

The artwork for this specific set of cards was created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, who is well known for his foundational contributions to the Pokémon Trading Card Game since its inception. By splitting the illustration across four distinct cards, Arita intended to emphasize the legendary and overwhelming power of Zacian, presenting the character in a fragmented, mural-like format that captures a sense of grand scale.
