Trivia

  • This card features the photographs of the top four players, similar to how the individual top three winners of the Neo Spring Road and Neo Summer Road Best in Japan tournaments had their photographs on the trophy cards. It is one of only a handful of cards to feature images of real-life people.
  • The exact number of this card in existence is unknown, though it is likely to assume there was one copy awarded for each of the winners. As with the Neo Spring Road and Neo Summer Road Best in Japan finalist promotional cards, it is unknown if similar prints were awarded to the top four players in the Junior and Senior divisions.

Origin

The Elite Four are four Pokémon Trainers who are amongst the toughest in their regional Pokémon League.
