Release information
This card was released as a promotional card. In Japan, it was available as an insert with the January 1998 issue of CoroCoro Comic. It was later reprinted and given to participants of the Kamex Mega Battle regional tournaments, which ran from July to August 1998. It was reprinted again as one of a selection of cards included in the Pokémon Song Best Collection CD, released on January 1, 1999. The English version was available through the Pokémon League in May 2000.
Trivia
All Japanese versions feature the Team Rocket expansion symbol, indicating that it is a promotional addition to the Japanese set. The prints released via CoroCoro and the Pokémon Song Best Collection have a 'R' symbol with a red drop shadow, whereas the 'R' on the Kamex Mega Battle participation print has a white drop shadow.
Origin
This card may be a reference to the plot of Jessie, James, and Meowth in EP038, where they attempted to steal Pokémon by directly hacking into the PC system of a Pokémon Center, or to the many glitches, such as the Hall of Fame glitch, which occur in Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue due to the capture of Missingno..
