This card was included in the English Emerging Powers expansion, first released in the Japanese Black Collection. In Japan, an unnumbered mirror foil BW-P Promotional version of this card was awarded to participants of the World Challenge Tournament event held over the course of Battle Carnival 2012 Spring who managed to reach the 'Premier Stage'.

It was reprinted again in Japan as part of the Master Deck Build Box EX, released on September 14, 2012. It was released in the English Plasma Freeze expansion, originating from the Thunder Knuckle expansion, as an Ultra-Rare Secret card with new artwork by the same artist.

During the XY BREAK Series, Max Potion was printed with new artwork by Toyste Beach, in the English BREAKpoint expansion, first originating from the Japanese Golduck BREAK + Palkia-EX Combo Deck on October 9, 2015.
