In Japan, this card was one of five that could be obtained through the Communication Evolution campaign, which began in April 1999. Participants had to send a {{TCG|Machoke}} card along with {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} in the mail to MediaFactory. MediaFactory would then send back the 'evolved' form. It was later reprinted in {{TCG|Pokémon Web}}. The English version of the card was available through {{TCG|Pokémon League}}s in February 2002.

==Trivia==
Although the vending machine cards were all printed on glossy card stock, the Masaki promos were all printed on regular card stock.
*The requirement of Bill's PC for the campaign led to the 5 available cards to become known colloquially as ''Masaki promos'' in reference to [[Bill]]'s Japanese name.
*Cards from the {{TCG|Vending Machine cards|Extended Sheet}}s are printed on glossy card stock, while those distributed as part of the Communication Evolution Campaign are printed on regular card stock.
