Trivia

Origin

Dragon Pulse is a move in the Pokémon games that Rayquaza can learn. Shred is an attack that first appeared on Salamence from Dragon Vault. This card's Dragon Vault and Legendary Treasures Pokédex entries comes from Pokémon Black and White. The BW-P Promotional and Dragons Exalted prints feature the Shiny version of Rayquaza, with the former version tying-in to the Rayquaza Nobunaga uses against the player in Pokémon Conquest. Rank II Nobunaga is featured in the BW-P Promotional print illustration.
