Trivia

  • This is one of only four cards in EX Dragon Frontiers which isn't a Delta Species. The others are Ralts, Larvitar, and Kirlia.
  • This is one of the few Pokémon cards to feature in non-consecutive Modified Formats, due to its absence between the 2004-05 and part of the 2006-07 Format.

Origin

Headbutt is a move in the Pokémon games that Pupitar can learn, though only in Generation II, via TM02, or in Generation IV, via Move Tutor. This card's e-Reader Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Crystal.
