Provenance

Where it came from

The Bird Keeper card was released in the 2021 Shining Fates expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed as a special subset, largely focused on the 'Shiny Vault,' which highlights rare, color-variant Pokémon. The set served as a mid-cycle update to the Sword & Shield era, aiming to provide collectors with high-demand, visually distinct cards featuring popular trainers and creatures.

The artwork for this specific card, numbered 66/72, was illustrated by artist Sanosuke Sakuma. The design features a trainer in a dynamic, mid-air pose alongside their signature avian partners, emphasizing the thematic bond between trainer and Pokémon. As a Rare Ultra card, its aesthetic leans into the polished, full-body portrait style common to modern trainer cards, which are highly sought after by players and collectors for their illustrative quality and utility in competitive gameplay.
