*The DPt-P print is the first numbered Victory Medal card and differs by featuring {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme, as opposed to {{p|Pikachu}} in the illustration. The card also has a gold foil stamp below the artwork that reads "For the Winner of the Pokémon Card Game". Oddly, this is in English instead of Japanese. | *The 031/DPt-P print is the first numbered Victory Medal card and differs by featuring {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme, as opposed to {{p|Pikachu}} in the illustration.
