Release information

This card was included as a Regular card and a Full Art illustration rare card in the 151 expansion, first released in the Japanese Pokémon Card 151 subset. The Regular print features artwork by kantaro, while the Full Art illustration rare print features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita. Starting June 30, 2023, a Cosmos Parallel Holofoil variant of the Regular print with a "Pokémon Center" stamp in the bottom right corner of the artwork was added to orders of eligible 151 products from the online Pokémon Center store for as long as stocks lasted. Initial announcements stated the promotion was going to be valid on any 151 product; however, listings on the Pokémon Center stated only the 151 Ultra-Premium Collection was eligible. A Cosmos Parallel Holofoil variant without any additional logos was later made available in Costco 151 Mini Tin 5-Packs from around early October 2024.

The Regular print was included, along with a Full Art print with new artwork by Saboteri, in the Japanese Venusaur & Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set ex. The Full Art print was released in Indonesia and Thailand on January 26, 2024, as part of a promo pack available with every purchase of one Shiny Treasure ex booster box. This Full Art print was later included as an illustration rare card in the Stellar Crown expansion outside Asia.
