Release information

This card originated in the Jungle expansion with artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi. It was later included in the EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion, originating in the Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip Constructed Starter Decks, with new artwork by K. Hoshiba and an updated effect. This print was used until the release of EX Unseen Forces, the Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr Constructed Starter Decks, which featured new artwork by Shin-ichi Yoshikawa. This print was used throughout the rest EX Series, and the first part of the Diamond & Pearl Series, up until the release of Majestic Dawn. The Majestic Dawn print, originating in the Magmortar vs Electivire Deck Kit, featured new artwork by Ryo Ueda.

Poké Ball was later reclassified in Japan as an Item card during the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, though the English prints did not adopt this naming convention until the release of Black & White. HeartGold & SoulSilver featured new artwork by Hideaki Hakozaki, and the Japanese Battle Starter Decks featured yet another new illustration by Noriko Hotta. This card was released again in the Black & White expansion with new artwork by Yuri Umemura, originating in the Japanese Beginning Set.
