Release information

This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art card in the XY expansion, first released in the Japanese Collection X. The Regular print features artwork by Eske Yoshinob, while the Full Art print features artwork by Ryo Ueda. In Japan, it was reprinted with the same Regular Art illustration as one of three XY-P Promotional cards available to those who took part in the Pokémon Card Game Summer Vacation Present Campaign's Gym Leader Challenge at Pokémon Center stores during the weekends of August 23-24 and 30-31, 2014. Players could battle Kalos Gym Leaders, earning one card of their choice for the battle whether they won or lost.

This card was reprinted with new artwork by Eske Yoshinob as one of the XY Black Star Promos available in the EX Power Trio Tins starting October 2014. This print was later available as part of the Pokémon Card Gym 2016 Stamp Campaign in Japan. Players could earn 1 stamp per visit to participating Pokémon Card Gym venues across Japan from March 1, 2016 until May 31, 2016. Players who received 3 stamps from the same venue were given this card. This print also features the Pokémon Card Gym logo.

It was later reprinted again as a Full Art card with new artwork by Naoki Saito, as one of the XY Black Star Promos, included in the Venusaur-EX Red & Blue Collection released on July 13, 2016. In Europe, a Jumbo card of this print was also included in the Collection. The artwork features Vileplume and Scyther in the background.

For the Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary, the Regular print from XY and the promotional Full Art print were reprinted featuring the same artwork and an updated card template reminiscent of the Original Era layout. The Regular print was then included in the Evolutions expansion.
