This card was included in the | This card was included in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Mystery of the Fossils}} expansion as a Holofoil card. In Japan, it was reprinted with different artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], available as a prize at the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament. Those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either Moltres, {{TCG ID|Fossil|Articuno|2}} or {{TCG ID|Fossil|Zapdos|15}} phone card at random in a sealed envelope. The Fossil Non Holofoil print was later reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansion. | ||

The phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card. That print utilizes the same stock Sugimori artwork of Moltres that was later used on {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Rocket's Moltres|12}} from {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} and on the {{TCG ID|GB|Moltres|1}} Legendary Card from {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}. | The phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card.

Wildfire's Japanese name, Yamayaki, refers to a Japanese festival in which withered grass on a mountain is burned. Dive Bomb's Japanese name is a spelling error of the Japanese name of {{m|Sky Attack}}, a [[move]] in the [[Pokémon games]] that {{p|Moltres}} can learn. This card's English [[Pokédex]] entry comes from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from {{game|Red and Green|s}}. | Wildfire's Japanese name, Yamayaki, refers to a Japanese festival in which withered grass on a mountain is burned.
