Release information
This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art card in the English Black & White expansion, first released in the Japanese White Collection. Each features different artwork by 5ban Graphics. It was later released alongside Reshiram as one of the BW Black Star Promos with English-exclusive artwork by the same artist in May 2011 available in the New Legends Tins.
It was again reprinted as one of the BW Black Star Promos with another artwork by 5ban Graphics in October 2011 available in the Zekrom Box. In Japan, this print was included as a BW-P Promotional card in the Special Trunk Set Zekrom. Later, it was reprinted again as a BW-P Promotional card released with the Battle Gift Set: Thundurus vs Tornadus. This print was released in the English Next Destinies expansion, with a Tinsel Holofoil version included in that set's Voltage Vortex Theme Deck.
