Provenance

Where it came from

The Ho-Oh-GX card, designated SM80 within the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set, was released in 2017 as a promotional tie-in to the release of the Burning Shadows expansion. These promotional cards were designed to be distributed through specific retail channels, such as the Ho-Oh-GX Figure Collection box, allowing collectors a guaranteed way to obtain the powerful Fire-type legendary Pokémon outside of the standard randomized booster pack format.

The card features artwork by 5ban Graphics, a creative studio frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company for their modern 3D-rendered character illustrations. The design emphasizes the GX mechanic introduced in the Sun & Moon era, showcasing the iridescent, foil-etched aesthetic characteristic of high-rarity cards from this period. Upon its release, it was well-received by players for its 'Sacred Fire' and 'Eternal Flame-GX' attacks, making it a functional staple in the competitive trading card game meta of the time.
