As one of the original Basic Energy cards, Fire Energy was released at the very beginning of the TCG in the '''{{TCG|Expansion Pack}}''' in Japan and '''''{{TCG|Base Set}}''''' internationally. International prints were numbered while the Japanese prints were unnumbered. The first numbered Japanese prints of the original card design were part of the '''Squirtle Deck''' of the '''{{TCG|Intro Pack}}'''. Cards in the ''Intro Pack'' were reprints that retained their original numbering and expansion symbols but had an additional symbol and number to properly order the decks | As one of the original Basic Energy cards, Fire Energy was released at the very beginning of the TCG in the '''{{TCG|Expansion Pack}}''' in Japan and '''''{{TCG|Base Set}}''''' internationally.

The first numbered Japanese prints of the original card design were part of the '''Squirtle Deck''' of the '''{{TCG|Intro Pack}}'''. Cards in the '['Intro Pack''' were reprints that retained their original numbering and expansion symbols but had an additional symbol and number to properly order the decks, six of these were Fire Energy. The '''''{{TCG|Base Set 2}}''''', '''''{{TCG|Gym Heroes}}''''', '''''{{TCG|Gym Challenge}}''''' and '''''{{TCG|Neo Genesis}}''''' expansions all reprinted this card. In Japan, the '''{{TCG|Intro Pack Neo}}''' included five reprints within the '''Chikorita Half Deck''' and had a similar numbering scheme as the '''Intro Pack'''. | ||
For the Pokémon ''VS'' era, the basic card layout was altered. The only releases using this layout was the Japanese '''{{TCG|Leaders Pokémon Theater Limited Edition}}''' deck and the '''{{TCG|Pokémon VS}}''' expansion. While it has no visible difference from the Japanese print, the '''{{TCG|Tyranitar Half Deck}}''' included this card. The half-deck was only given to participants in the ''Tropical Mega Battle'' and ''2002 World Championships''. The first unnumbered international print, as well as first Holofoil print of Fire Energy, was a participation reward during the ''February 2002 Energize Your Game {{TCG|Pokémon League}}'' season. | For the Pokémon ''VS'' era, the basic card layout was altered.
