Release information
Pokémon Catcher was first released in the Emerging Powers expansion, originating from the White Collection. It was reprinted in the Battle Strength Decks, Battle Theme Deck: Victini, the Reshiram-EX and Zekrom-EX Battle Strength Decks, and the Battle Gift Set: Thundurus vs Tornadus. It was later included in the Dark Explorers expansion as an Ultra-Rare Secret card, originating from the Japanese Dark Rush expansion. The original print has subsequently been reprinted in Japan as part of the Master Deck Build Box EX, the Everyone's Exciting Battle collection, the Blastoise + Kyurem-EX Combo Deck, and the Mewtwo vs Genesect Deck Kit.
Pokémon Catcher was reprinted again during the XY Series in the English Kalos Starter Set, first originating from the Japanese XY Beginning Set, with new artwork by 5ban Graphics and the updated text to coincide with the XY Series errata. This artwork was later reprinted in the Japanese Xerneas and Yveltal Half Decks, the Hyper Metal Chain Deck, as well as the English XY Trainer Kit. An unnumbered XY-P Promotional print of this artwork will be released as one of five cards for the Pokémon Card Game Deck Building Seminar being held in Japanese Pokémon Centers from October 25-November 16, 2014 for elementary school-aged children wishing to learn more about deck building.
