==Trivia==
==Trivia==
This card is one of the rarest cards in the world, though the exact number in existence remains unknown, due to the nature of the tournament in which it was won. It is estimated that between one and three copies exist.
*Unlike previous tournament winner cards, the trophy cards produced between 2000 and 2002 had the name of the winner and the region in which the tournament was held. It is debated that this makes them rarer than those released in 1997-1999, as each one is unique.
*The 2002 print features both male and female trainer versions, taking inspiration from the choice first given to players with the release of [[Pokémon Crystal]].
*The double star rarity was no longer used with the 2002 print.
