Lore

Why it matters

Part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set, this Zorua card features the Tricky Fox Pokémon in its base form. Collectors often prize these promotional releases for their unique numbering and distribution, as they were made available through specific retail events rather than standard booster packs.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Zorua SM83 card was released in 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was specifically distributed as a promotional inclusion within the Forbidden Light Single Pack Blisters, serving to highlight the introduction of the Tricky Fox Pokémon into the Alolan regional card cycle. This period of the Pokémon Trading Card Game focused on bridging the transition between the core Sun & Moon expansions and the Ultra Prism era, often utilizing promotional cards to support specific set releases.

The illustration is credited to Mizue, an artist known for a signature soft-focus and painterly aesthetic within the franchise. In this piece, Zorua is depicted in a naturalistic, slightly melancholic pose that emphasizes the creature's lore-based ability to transform and evade detection. The design intentionally leans into the Darkness type's thematic palette, using muted tones that contrast with the vibrant promotional stamps typical of the Sun & Moon promo numbering scheme.
