Trivia

Based on the release schedules of previous Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Packs, it is likely the Japanese S-P Promotional print would have been available alongside the dual Skyscraping Perfection and Blue Sky Stream expansion on July 9, 2021. However, due to the delay of Promo Card Packs 5 and 6 amid COVID-19 restrictions, Promo Card Pack 7 did not become available until September. As a result, this print was officially released first in Taiwan and Hong Kong as a Traditional Chinese-language S-P Promotional card in early August 2021.
