Release information

This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art Secret card in the Battle Styles expansion, first released in the Japanese Rapid Strike Master expansion. The Regular print features artwork by Souichirou Gunjima, while the Secret print features artwork by PLANETA Mochizuki. A SWSH Black Star Promotional print of this card was one of the Prerelease promos for Battle Styles with different artwork by KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA, available in the Battle Styles Build & Battle Box. This print was subsequently released in the Japanese Inteleon VMAX High-Class Deck.

The Battle Styles Regular print was reprinted, alongside a Full Art Secret card with artwork by Shinya Komatsu featuring a Fisher, in the Japanese VMAX Climax subset. The Battle Styles Regular print was reprinted again in the Japanese Start Deck 100 as a Non Holofoil card. The VMAX Climax Full Art Secret print was later included in the Brilliant Stars expansion.

Origin

Waterfall is a move in the Pokémon games that Octillery can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Shield. The Battle Styles Secret print features the Shiny version of Octillery. A Fisher based on the Pokémon Sword and Shield character design is featured in the Brilliant Stars print's illustration. While a few of this Trainer class use an Octillery in the core series games, none do in Sword and Shield.
