A different variation of this card with a plane in the background was released in Japan as a special card by All Nippon Airways in 1998. Passengers flying in conjunction with the "Pokémon Getaways" campaign could redeem their boarding passes for the 2 card set including Flying Pikachu and Dragonite. This variant card was never released in English.

Trivia
