Trivia

  • The Phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card. That print utilizes the same stock Sugimori artwork of Zapdos that was later used on the Zapdos Legendary Card from Pokémon Trading Card Game.
  • All prints of the English Holofoil Zapdos contain an error where they lack Holofoil where the Evolutionary Box for Stage 1 Pokémon and Stage 2 Pokémon normally is.
