Release information

This card was included in the Temporal Forces expansion with artwork by AYUMI ODASHIMA, first released in the Japanese Wild Force expansion. In Japan, it was reprinted as a Mirror Holofoil SV-P Promotional card and was distributed as part two separate First Entry Campaigns. One of these campaigns took place between January 26 and April 8, 2024, during which participating Pokémon Card Gym venues held a stamp rally that incorporated Gym Battle, New Release Battle, Deck As Is Battle, Terastal Battle, and Extra Battle Day events. People that participated in any of these events for the first time during the campaign were given a stamp card; those that presented the card in a subsequent eligible event would get it stamped. Those that earned at least one stamp was given the promotional print of this card; those earning at least two stamps were given a promotional copy of either Miraidon or Koraidon.[1]

Pokémon Card Gym venues held another First Entry Campaign between July 19 and September 30, 2024. Stamp rallies were conducted in the same manner as the earlier campaign and incorporated the following events: Gym Battle, New Release Battle, Deck As Is Battle, Terastal Battle, Friend Battle Together, and Extra Battle Day. Participants that received at least one stamp on their stamp card from this campaign were given a copy of the SV-P Promotional print; those earning at least two stamps were given a promotional Noctowl card.[2] The SV-P Promotional print available in both campaigns features the Pokémon Card Gym logo and the collection number 150/SV-P.

A gold-etched Full Art hyper rare print was included in the Twilight Masquerade expansion, first released in the Japanese Transformation Mask expansion, with artwork by the same illustrator. The Regular print is also reprinted in the Japanese Stellar Miracle Deck Build Box and the Terastal Fest ex subset.
