Release information
In Japan, this card was reprinted with artwork from one of five winning entries of the CoroCoro Pokémon Snap contest held in Spring 1999. This version is extremely rare and the exact number in existence is unknown. This card was reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection reprint sets, which were only released outside of Japan.
Trivia
- The Japanese "Snap" print has a camera graphic where an expansion symbol would usually be.
- The text on the bottom right of the "Snap" print reads: Best Photo Contest Winners Prize Card.
Origin
Tackle and Flail are moves in the Pokémon games that Magikarp can learn, though Flail was not introduced until Generation II. The card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded.
