The Story
The Continent Maker in Gold
EX Delta Species brought the fourth wave of Gold Stars featuring the weather trio representatives — Groudon, Kyogre, and Metagross (standing in for Rayquaza, who already had his Gold Star in EX Deoxys). This marked the first time the massive Ruby and Sapphire mascots received the treatment.
Groudon's shiny form swaps standard red for a golden-yellow that makes the Continent Pokémon look forged from the earth itself. Fukuda emphasizes Groudon's sheer mass, with massive clawed arms and armored body pushing against the card frame.
Delta Species was the set that introduced the δ Delta Species mechanic. While the Gold Stars weren't Delta Species themselves, they appeared alongside it, tying them into one of the most beloved eras of the TCG.
Groudon Gold Star looks like it was forged from the earth itself — Fukuda's golden coloration turns the Continent Maker into a living monument.
