A version of the SWSH Promotional print with a gold foil "Staff" stamp was included in packs sent to Tournament Organizers.

A Non Holofoil version of the Sword & Shield print was also included in the Sword & Shield Build & Battle Box. A Parallel Holofoil version of this print was given away at Pokémon Leagues for the first month of the Sword & Shield Season (February 2020). This print has the Pokémon League logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork.

Rillaboom was reprinted as a Full Art Secret card with artwork by 5ban Graphics in the Darkness Ablaze expansion, first released in the Japanese Explosive Walker subset. The SWSH Promotional print was later included in the Japanese Shiny Star V subset, as was a new print with artwork by Ryuta Fuse featuring the Shiny version of Rillaboom. The Sword & Shield and Shiny prints were later included in the Shining Fates expansion.
