Release information
This card was reprinted in the EX Legend Maker, EX Holon Phantoms, EX Power Keepers and Legends Awakened 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"; this kept the card in line with a prior errata.
