This card was originally released in {{TCG|Base Set}} with artwork by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]. It famously has two versions: a red-cheeked variant and the true yellow-cheeked version. The red-cheeked variant is a highly sought-after experimental print from {{TCG|1st Edition}} and early Unlimited print runs. Both versions also have promotional variants with a gold foil "E<sup>3</sup>" stamp where the set symbol would appear in later sets. The yellow-cheeked version was available as an insert in the September 1999 issue of Nintendo Power, while the red-cheeked variant was distributed to those who visited the Nintendo booth at the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo}} (E3) between May 13-15, 1999.
