5 facts about this card
This reverse holo comes from EX Deoxys, an English set released on February 14, 2005, and Bulbapedia notes that cards in the set were also issued as Reverse Holofoils, giving even a Common like Swablu a distinctly collectible parallel version.
EX Deoxys was themed around the Deoxys era of the franchise, arriving right alongside the excitement of Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, which reached U.S. home video on February 15, 2005—making this Swablu a tiny piece of that broader Deoxys moment in Pokémon history.
Swablu is the Generation III Cotton Bird Pokémon from Hoenn, and in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire it naturally learns Peck at level 1, a neat match to this card’s simple Peck attack.
What makes the reverse holo especially fun for EX-era collectors is the stamped EX Deoxys treatment on the artwork, a hallmark of the set’s parallel cards that turns this humble Common into a very era-specific binder piece.
This card was illustrated by Kyoko Umemoto, a longtime Pokémon TCG illustrator whose work on the game dates back to the Expedition Base Set era, giving Swablu a connection to one of the recognizable artists of early-2000s card design.
