The Regular print was included in the Darkness Ablaze expansion, while the Full Art print became a SWSH Black Star Promo available in the Eternatus VMAX Premium Collection from September 4, 2020.

In the United Kingdom, it was given to customers who purchased at least £15 worth of selected Pokémon Trading Card Game products at participating GAME stores. Some stores gave away Jumbo Toxtricity V cards as well with qualifying purchases. Special bundles that included Eternatus V were also available through their online store.

Another SWSH Black Star Promo print with different artwork by the same artist was available in the V Powers Tins, also from September 4, 2020. In Japan, this print was released as one of the S-P Promotional cards and was available as part of the Eternatus Challenge Campaign, which began on June 5, 2020 in tandem with the release of the Infinity Zone expansion. Customers who purchased an Infinity Zone booster box at participating stores nationwide received a Mini Card Box and a special pack containing one of five possible promotional cards. The campaign ran for as long as stocks lasted. The Pokémon Center Online was the only official store to hold the campaign—physical Pokémon Centers and Pokémon Stores were excluded, possibly as part of measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Japanese version of this print features the campaign logo on the right edge of the illustration.
The Darkness Ablaze print was reprinted in the Japanese Shiny Star V subset, as was a Secret gold Full Art print, which also features artwork by 5ban Graphics. Outside Asia, the Secret gold print was included in the Shining Fates expansion. The Darkness Ablaze print was reprinted again in the Japanese Zacian & Zamazenta vs Eternatus Special Deck Set and VMAX Climax subset. The VMAX Climax subset also included a Character Secret Rare print with artwork by kodama.
