This card was first released as one of the English XY Black Star Promos, available in the Hoenn Collection with artwork by Akira Komayama. It was later reprinted in the Primal Clash expansion, first released in the Japanese Gaia Volcano expansion, with new artwork by the same artist. An exclusive Sheen Holofoil print of the English card was released as a preview card in the Collector Chest on November 14, 2014. This print features a copyright date of ©2014 appropriate to its release in this product, which remains on the print available in booster packs. The Black Star Promotional print was later released in Japan as one of three cards available in the Magma Gang VS Aqua Gang: Double Crisis Launch Commemoration Campaign. Starting January 30, 2015, patrons who purchased at least ¥600 worth of Pokémon Card Game merchandise at Coco Store, Circle K Sunkus, Daily Yamazaki, FamilyMart, or Ministop received Treecko, until supplies were exhausted. The Primal Clash print was later later reprinted in the Latias Half Deck of the English XY Trainer Kit: Latias & Latios and in the Japanese M Master Deck Build Box Speed Style (released August 7, 2015).
