This card also appeared in the {{TCG|VS}} set, which was never released outside of Japan; the card was translated under the name of '''Pokémon Reverse''' for that set.  It was also reprinted in the {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}}, {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}} sets with new artwork by [[Hiromichi Sugiyama]].  The EX Ruby & Sapphire print is famous for seemingly mangling the effect, since it read as follows:
{{Trainer Text
{{Trainer Text
| effect = Flip a coin.  If heads, your opponent switches 1 of his or her Active Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon.
| effect = Flip a coin.  If heads, your opponent switches 1 of his or her Active Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon.

This caused quite a stir, as if the effect had been changed from being a "flip for [[Gust of Wind (Base Set 93)|Gust]]" to "flip for half a {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Warp Point|126}}"An errata was ultimately issued so that the card now was treated more like the Expedition print with a slight tweak for 2-on-2 play, as follows:
 
==Card text (EX FireRed & LeafGreen print)==
{{Trainer Text

| effect = Flip a coin.  If heads, choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and switch it with 1 of the Defending Pokémon.  Your opponent chooses the Defending Pokémon to switch.

This was the wording that showed up on later prints of the card.

Release information

This card's true first appearence was in the Japanese Pokémon VS expansion and in the unofficial English Tyranitar Half Deck for the 2001 Tropical Mega Battle. The card was translated under the tentative name of Pokémon Reverse.
It was reprinted in EX Ruby & Sapphire with new artwork by Hiromichi Sugiyama, which is famous for seemingly mangling the intended effect (see above). The change caused quite a stir, as if the effect had been changed from being a "flip for Gust of Wind" to "flip for half a Warp Point". An errata was ultimately issued so that the card was treated more like the Expedition print with a slight tweak for 2-on-2 play. The reprinted versions that appeared in EX FireRed & LeafGreen and EX Unseen Forces featured the adjusted text. It was reclassified as a Goods card in the HeartGold Collection and printed with new artwork by Wataru Kawahara.
