A mail-in prize draw offering another glossy copy of the original print was published in the October 1998 issue of ''CoroCoro Comic'', released on September 15, 1998. People wishing to enter the prize draw were required to affix the application ticket on the bottom left of the article page to a postcard and send it to [[Shogakukan]]. Two thousand winners were sent a set of four cards mounted on two plain sheets: Pikachu and Jigglypuff on one; {{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Meowth|promo}} and {{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Brock's Onix|promo}} on the other. This print credits Keiji Kinebuchi as the illustrator, allowing it to be distinguished from the original print. An English version on glossy Japanese card stock was also available on a two-card insert alongside Jigglypuff in the Spring 1999 issue of ''Hyper CoroCoro'', released on March 1, 1999. This print features a gray star symbol with a yellow "PROMO" superimposed on it, similar to the Black Star promotional cards released outside Japan.
