This card was released in the English {{TCG|Base Set}} with artwork by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]], first originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Expansion Pack}}. In Japan, this card was released as a promotional card with different artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was first available through the "Trade Please" campaign that ran from February 10th to July 31st in 1998. A flyer included with the ''[[Let's Trade Please (CD)|Trade Please]]'' album by [[Suzukisan]] had to be mailed to MediaFactory along with any two Pokémon trading cards within the campaign period. The {{TCG ID|Please Trade|Please Trade|promo}} promotional card, as well as either this card, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}, or {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}} would then be sent back, completing the trade. It was reprinted in the {{TCG|Intro Pack}} and again as part of the ''[[Pokémon Song Best Collection]]'' CD. These variants were never released in English. The Base Set print was reprinted in the English {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansions.
