Release information

This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art card in the English Black & White expansion, first released in the Japanese White Collection. Each features different artwork by 5ban Graphics. It was later released alongside Reshiram as one of the BW Black Star Promos with English-exclusive artwork by the same artist in May 2011 available in the New Legends Tins.

It was again reprinted as one of the BW Black Star Promos with another artwork by 5ban Graphics in October 2011 available in the Zekrom Box. In Japan, this print was included as a BW-P Promotional card in the Special Trunk Set Zekrom. Later, it was reprinted again as a BW-P Promotional card released with the Battle Gift Set: Thundurus vs Tornadus. This print was released in the English Next Destinies expansion, with a Tinsel Holofoil version included in that set's Voltage Vortex Theme Deck.

The original Regular print was later reprinted in Japan as part of the Master Deck Build Box EX, released on September 14th, 2012. Another two prints were released in the Japanese EX Battle Boost: a Regular print with artwork by Kagemaru Himeno, and an entirely gold Full Art Secret print with artwork by 5ban Graphics.
