Release information

This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art card in the Lost Thunder expansion, first released in the Japanese Super-Burst Impact expansion. Both prints feature artwork by Hideki Ishikawa. In Japan, a Mirror Holofoil SM-P Promotional version of the Regular print was given to customers who purchased a booster box of Super-Burst Impact upon its release at participating Pokémon Card Gym venues. This print features the set logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork. It was reprinted again as a Non Holofoil in the Japanese Tag Team GX Deck Build Box. A new print with different artwork by nagimiso was released as a Yellow A Alternate card and was awarded to the top 4 competitors of League Challenges held during the Cosmic Eclipse Season (November 2019-January 2020). These prints come in 4 variants with either a "1st Place", "2nd Place", "3rd Place, or "4th Place" stamp in the bottom left corner of the artwork. This print originated from the Japanese Alter Genesis expansion. The Lost Thunder Regular print was reprinted in the Japanese Tag All Stars subset.
