Release information
This card was reprinted in the EX Legend Maker, EX Holon Phantoms, and EX Power Keepers sets with new art by the same artist. The EX Legend Maker print changed "instead of a Trainer card" to "as well as a Trainer card".
An upcoming print of the card will likely reword the card again to be similar to the wording on Armor Fossil and Skull Fossil.
