This card was as a {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|Wizards Black Star Promo}} released through the {{TCG|Pokémon League}} in February 2002. In Japan, it was one of five Holofoil {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards}} that could be obtained as part of the Communication Evolution Campaign. The campaign launched with the release of the {{TCG|Expansion Sheet 3|third Expansion Sheet}} on November 24, 1998 and ran until April 30, 1999. Participants who mailed a copy of any {{TCG|Machoke}} card along with a copy of {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} to [[Media Factory]] during the campaign period were sent a copy of Machamp in return. Approximately 29,000 applications were made for Machamp over the course of the campaign. It was later reprinted in the Japanese {{TCG|Pokémon Web}} expansion using the e-Card Series layout.

*The requirement of Bill's PC for the campaign led to the five available cards to become known colloquially as ''Masaki promos'' in reference to [[Bill]]'s Japanese name.

*Cards from the Expansion Sheets are printed on glossy card stock, while those distributed as part of the Communication Evolution Campaign are printed on regular card stock.
