Where it came from
Released in the 2012 Next Destinies expansion, the Zekrom-EX (97/99) card represents a pivotal moment in the Pokémon Trading Card Game when the 'EX' mechanic was reintroduced to the Western market. Modeled after the Legendary Pokémon from the Generation V titles, Black and White, the card was crafted to showcase the immense power levels of the new EX-series creatures. Its design, featuring high-gloss holofoil and striking, full-body artwork, aimed to create a sense of scale and intensity that distinguished these cards from the standard set cards of the era.
The card was illustrated by Shizurow, a prolific artist known for their dynamic use of lighting and metallic textures. Their approach focused on emphasizing the electric typing of Zekrom through sharp, jagged lines and a dark, imposing color palette that commanded attention on the game board. Upon release, the card was received with significant enthusiasm by the competitive community, as its formidable attack strength and high hit points established it as a staple in the meta-game of the early 2010s, cementing its reputation as a collectible icon for players and fans of the Unova region.
