Release information

This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art card in the Vivid Voltage expansion, first released in the Japanese Amazing Volt Tackle expansion. Both prints feature artwork by 5ban Graphics. It was reprinted as one of the SWSH Black Star Promos with different artwork by the same artist and was available in the Orbeetle V Box from November 20, 2020. A Jumbo version was also included in the box. In Japan, this print was released as one of the S-P Promotional cards and was given to customers who purchased two booster boxes of Amazing Volt Tackle upon its release at participating stores.[1] The set logo is featured on the right side of the artwork on the Japanese print. The Regular print was reprinted in the Japanese VMAX Climax subset alongside a Character Secret Rare print with artwork by Nisota Niso. The Character Secret Rare print was eventually released outside Asia in the Lost Origin expansion.
