Trivia
- A number of the Wizards Black Star Promo prints of this card were printed without HP. Most of these error cards were destroyed, but some of them saw release.
- The Nintendo Power insert erroneously states that Dark Persian is a Basic Pokémon.
- Giovanni is present on the illustration of the Japanese promotional version; this was removed for unknown reasons on the English version. The Japanese promotional version also has the Rocket Gang expansion symbol.
