Release Information
In Japan, this card was reprinted with different artwork by Ken Sugimori, available as a prize at the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament. Those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either a Zapdos, Articuno, or Moltres phone card at random in a sealed envelope.

Trivia
- The Phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card. That print utilizes the same stock Sugimori artwork of Zapdos that was later used on the Zapdos Legendary Card from Pokémon Trading Card Game.
- Some early prints of the card punch out evolution symbols in the holofoil, leaving behind an area in the picture not covered in holofoil.
