A special variant was released as a participation prize for the 2007-2008 City Championships, featuring the event logo. A gold foil stamped "Staff" version was also given to those overseeing the event. A Cosmos Holofoil DP-P Promotional print was available in Japan as part of the Trade Please DP event held at participating store chains from November 4, 2007 for as long as stocks lasted.
