Where it came from
The Zapdos ex card was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion in late 2023. This set was specifically designed to celebrate the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region, tapping into deep nostalgia for long-time fans by featuring the original Pokédex order. The set was created to honor the 25-year legacy of the franchise, serving as a modern homage to the foundational collection that defined the game in the late 1990s.
The card features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, a legendary illustrator whose work has graced the Pokémon TCG since its inception. Arita utilized a dynamic, high-energy style for this piece, capturing the legendary bird Zapdos in a powerful pose that emphasizes its electric typing and status as an 'ex' card, a mechanic that introduces higher hit points and more powerful abilities. Upon release, the set was highly sought after by collectors for its thematic consistency and the modern reinterpretations of classic characters.
