Release information
This card was reprinted in the
Base Set 2 and
Legendary Collection reprint sets, which were only released outside of Japan. This card was also reprinted in the
VS (Japan only),
Expedition Base Set,
EX Ruby & Sapphire,
EX FireRed & LeafGreen,
EX Unseen Forces,
EX Crystal Guardians,
Diamond & Pearl, and
Secret Wonders sets. Expedition added a clause at the end of the sentence reading "(1 if that Pokémon has only 1)"; that clause was then reworded to "remove 1 damage counter if that Pokémon has only 1" for EX Ruby & Sapphire. Art for this card has changed a few times, first for Expedition by the same artist, then for EX Unseen Forces by a new artist.
Trivia
- Interestingly, more recent artwork depicts the Potion as being vastly different in appearance from the in-game sprite, which is itself based on the appearance of the original card.
Origin
Potion is a healing item in the Pokémon games that was introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue.
