Provenance

Where it came from

The Zekrom-EX card, numbered BW38 in the Black Star Promos series, was released in 2012 as part of the promotional support for the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Black & White era. It was specifically distributed through the Zekrom-EX Box, a retail product that featured an oversized version of the card alongside several booster packs. This release marked a period where the Pokémon Company leaned heavily into the 'EX' mechanic, which introduced powerful, high-HP Pokémon with unique visual treatments to the competitive landscape.

The card features artwork by Toyste Beach, who captured Zekrom in an aggressive, dynamic pose consistent with the visual identity of the Legendary Pokémon from the Unova region. The design utilizes the full-art aesthetic that was gaining significant traction among collectors at the time, emphasizing the jagged, metallic textures of the Dragon-type creature. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional staple for competitive play due to its 'Glinting Claw' and 'Strong Volt' attacks, while its glossy foil finish secured its status as a sought-after aesthetic piece for players transitioning from the earlier HeartGold & SoulSilver card cycles.
