The set logos are featured at the bottom of the artwork. In Japan, the Sword & Shield print was reprinted in the Zacian + Zamazenta Box and with different artwork by Sanosuke Sakuma in the Charizard & Grimmsnarl VMAX Starter Sets. The Sword & Shield print was reprinted again in Japan as a S-P Promotional card and in each of the V Starter Decks.

This print features the Event Organizer logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration. Outside Asia, the Charizard & Grimmsnarl VMAX Starter Sets and Full Art S-P Promotional prints were later included in the Champion's Path expansion.
