Release information

This card was included in the Evolving Skies expansion with artwork by Kagemaru Himeno, first released in the Japanese Blue Sky Stream expansion. It was reprinted as one of the SWSH Black Star Promos with different artwork by Shin Nagasawa and was one of four possible Prerelease cards available in the Evolving Skies Build & Battle Box. A print with a gold foil "Staff" stamp was later retroactively distributed to Pokémon Leagues in early 2023. The SWSH Promotional print has the collection number SWSH123. This print was subsequently released in the Japanese VSTAR Universe subset, alongside a Full Art Secret card with artwork by Shiburingaru. The Full Art print was later released outside Asia as a SWSH Black Star Promo card with the collection number SWSH282 and was available in the Crown Zenith Tins from March 17, 2023.
