Release information

In Japan, twenty copies of this card were first given to Yuuki Kawamura, one of the overall winners of the Pokémon Card Game Illust Artist Contest. It was subsequently available on sheet eighteen of Expansion Sheet 1. There appears to be no discernible difference between the two prints; both are glossy and have a rarity symbol. It was reprinted as a non-glossy card in the Red Deck of the Quick Starter Gift Set.
