Release information

This card was included in the Jungle expansion, first released in the Japanese Pokémon Jungle expansion. It was later reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection expansions.

Early prints of the 1st Edition Jungle version of this card were printed with a symbol that appeared to look like "Edition d" instead of "Edition 1" due to the presence of an ink bubble during printing.
