Release information

This card was one of seven S-P Promotional cards available in Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 6, which was distributed at Pokémon Card Gym venues from July 3, 2021. This card also features the Pokémon Card Gym logo.

Trivia

Based on the release schedules of previous Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Packs, it is likely this card would have been available alongside the dual Silver Lance and Jet-Black Spirit expansion on April 23, 2021. However, due to the release proximity of the previous Promo Card Pack, which was also delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions, and the state of emergency that was subsequently imposed in some Japanese prefectures from April 29, it did not become available until July. This delay led to the first official release of this card appearing as a Chinese-language Template:CTCG in May 2021.

Origin

Psy Bolt's Japanese name is that of Confusion, a move in the Pokémon games that Espeon can learn. Psychic is also a move in the Pokémon games that Espeon can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Shield.
