Patrat, along with four other cards, was first included in the English Sneak-Peek Tins seven weeks before its Black & White expansion release. In Japan, it was released in the White Collection, and then later was reprinted with new artwork by the same artist as one of the BW-P Promotional cards in a ten card random pack released during the February 2011 Gym Challenge. This reprint was later included in the English Emerging Powers expansion.
