Release information

This card was released as a promotional card, and comes in two versions. In Japan, a gold medal version was awarded to the champions of the Spring Gym Challenge in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and again in 2009. A silver medal version was also awarded to runners-up in the same competitions.
The English versions were released through Battle Road tournaments, beginning in Spring 2007. Gold medal versions are awarded to those participating in Spring Battle Road tournaments, while the silver medal versions are awarded to those participating in Autumn Battle Road tournaments. The seasonal variants are further distinguished by featuring a blue stamp (Spring) and an orange stamp (Autumn), as well as the season years in which the card was awarded.
Beginning in 2009, several other versions featuring Pokémon relative to mainstream releases began to be released, all with artwork by Yusuke Ishikawa. The 031/DPt-P print was awarded to winners of the Pokémon Plaza Challenge Card Get Battle in May 2009, and the two Arceus prints were awarded to winners of the Pokémon Battle Tour 2009. This Typhlosion print was illustrated by Takashi Yamaguchi.
This card was released yet again. For the HeartGold & SoulSilver Collection's Gym Challenge, Hideaki Hakozaki illustrated three new cards: one for third place, second place, and third place winners. These cards were numbered 031/L-P, 032/L-P, 033/L-P, respectively. Hakozaki illustrated another print released for the November 2009 Pokémon Challenge Battle winner's prize, numbered 041/L-P.
