This card was released as a promotional card. In Japan, it was available as a prize card through the "{{tt|Tamamushi|Celadon}} University Hyper Test" campaign held in June 1998. The campaign was publicized in [[Shogakukan]]'s magazines for primary-school children in the form of a series of tests in which participants could complete and send back to Shogakukan within a limited period. Those that passed were sent an invitation to a two-day conference in Osaka. On the first day, the participants were separated into three age categories and were then assigned groups based on the various [[Gym]]s in the Pokémon games. Each player within one of these groups battled other members of that group, with the top players within each group qualifying for the second day. The second day consisted of a series of battles between the top players within each age category. Those that won a battle during the course of the day were awarded this card at the end of the conference. | This card was released as a promotional card.

The card was never released in English. | The card artwork was later reprinted in the {{TCG|Pokémon Web}} expansion.
