==Release information==
===EX Series===
This card was included in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion with artwork by [[K. Utsunomiya]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Flight of Legends}} expansion.

===Platinum Series===
VS Seeker was reprinted in the {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} expansion with new artwork by [[Wataru Kawahara]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Beat of the Frontier}} expansion.

===XY Series===
During the XY Series, VS Seeker was released as an {{TCG|Item card}} with an updated effect and new artwork by [[5ban Graphics]] in the {{TCG|Phantom Forces}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Hyper Metal Chain Deck}}. The Japanese {{TCG|Emerald Break}} expansion included a {{TCG|Secret card|Secret}} print of VS Seeker, which was later printed outside Japan in the {{TCG|Roaring Skies}} expansion. In Japan, the Phantom Forces print was reprinted in the {{TCG|M Master Deck Build Box Power Style}}, the {{TCG|M Master Deck Build Box Speed Style}}, and the {{TCG|Golduck BREAK + Palkia-EX Combo Deck}}; a Mirror Holofoil version of this print was later included in the Japanese {{TCG|Premium Champion Pack}}.

===Sun & Moon Series===
At the start of the Japanese Sun & Moon Era, the Phantom Forces print was reprinted again in the {{TCG|Premium Trainer Box}}. Despite the layout for Trainer cards being changed for the new Era, this print retains the old card layout. This layout was retained for the reprints in the Japanese {{TCG|The Best of XY}} subset, {{TCG|Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Premium Trainer Box}}, {{TCG|Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Deck Build Boxes}}, and the {{TCG|Extra Regulation Box}}.

===Sword & Shield Series===
Similar to the Sun & Moon Series, another Phantom Forces reprint was released in Japan to promote the Extra Regulation format. Starting December 16, 2022, participating Pokémon Card Gym venues distributed {{TCGMerch|Sword & Shield|Era|Extra Battle Day Promo Card Pack}}s to people competing in Extra Battle Day tournaments. One pack was given to each participant that won a game, while three packs were given to the overall winner of a tournament. One pack was also given to winners of {{wp|rock paper scissors}} competitions.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/003741.html ''「エクストラバトルの日」開催決定！'' | Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20221228141542/https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/003741.html archived copy])</ref> Each pack contained one of ten {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards}}, which included this print. This print also features the Extra Battle Day logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration.

===Scarlet & Violet Series===
This card was reprinted in Holofoil with its {{TCG|Phantom Forces}} artwork in the {{TCG|Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic}}. This reprint lacks a regulation mark and is thus not legal for tournament play.

This card's Hyper Metal Chain deck print was reprinted as one of the Japanese {{TCG|SV-P Promotional cards}} for Extra Battle Day on January 1st, 2024, and its stamp is shown on the card.

==Trivia==
In the [[Pokémon games]], the ''s'' in "VS" is not capitalized. On this card, it is.
===Origin===
The [[Vs. Seeker]] is a [[Key Item]] in the [[Pokémon games]] that enables the player to re-battle {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that have already been defeated.
