Trivia

The Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery holo rare print's artwork is part of a combined illustration with eight other cards from the Galarian Gallery subset: Swablu, Duskull, Bidoof, Pikachu, Turtwig, Paras, Poochyena, and Mareep. The nine cards do not follow conventional ordering in any set localization and are instead ordered according to how they compose the larger illustration. In Asia, the VSTAR Universe prints of these cards were always enclosed together in a single pack, colloquially referred to as "god packs", and were difficult to obtain.

Origin

Low Kick is a move in the Pokémon games that Riolu can learn via TR. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Sword. Canalave City, as depicted in Pokémon Platinum, is featured in the Brilliant Stars print.
