Release information

This card was included as a Regular card, a Full Art card, and as a Secret card in the Ultra Prism expansion, first released in the Japanese Ultra Moon expansion, each with artwork by 5ban Graphics. A new print with different artwork by the same artist was 1 of 3 cards available in the Evolution Celebration Tins from September 21, 2018. In Japan, this print was released as one of the SM-P Promotional cards and was 1 of 5 possible prizes players could redeem for 8 Play Points at participating 2019 Champion's League venues. These included the 2019 Tokyo Champion's League, held at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, Tokyo on September 16, 2018. Play Points could be earned by participating in corner events. Eligible corner events included:

  • Festival Park – An area with various mini-games in which people could earn stamps by completing them. 3 Play Points were awarded for accumulating 4 stamps; 2 Play Points were awarded for accumulating 3 stamps; and 1 Play Point was awarded for accumulating 2 stamps. A maximum of 3 Play Points could be awarded at the Festival Park corner and only 1 stamp could be earned at each mini-game per day.
  • GX Starter Deck Limited Battle – Individual battles using 1 of the 9 pre-constructed GX Starter Decks. 2 Play Points were awarded for participation, with an additional 2 Play Points awarded for those who played 3 matches or more, regardless of the outcome.
