The Sun & Moon Trainer Kit: Alolan Sandslash & Alolan Ninetales included a variant of the Sun & Moon print. It has a 15 in a blue circle at the bottom right of the card, so the deck can be ordered for a practice duel. The Sun & Moon print of Potion had five variants within the Battle Academy 2020 deck kit. The cards within the three decks (Charizard, Pikachu, and Mewtwo) had a silhouette of the Pokémon in the bottom right of the card, with the Charizard and Pikachu Deck cards also having numbers so they could be ordered for a practice duel. One copy was part of the Mewtwo Deck, while the other two decks had two copies each. The numbers on the Charizard Deck copies are 14 and 37; the numbers on the Pikachu Deck copies are 20 and 40.
Sword & Shield Series
Potion was reprinted during the Sword & Shield Series with new artwork by Ryo Ueda, appearing in the Sword & Shield expansion, first released in the Japanese V Starter Set Grass. In Japan, it was reprinted as a S-P Promotional card with the collection number 017/S-P and was available in the Grookey, Scorbunny & Sobble Card Box, released on December 6, 2019. Another S-P Promotional print, this time with the collection number 051/S-P, was one of nine possible cards included in special packs sent to Event Organizers in April 2020 for distribution in official events hosted by them. This print features the Event Organizer logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration. The Sword & Shield print was reprinted again in Japan in two of the nine V Starter Decks, in the Venusaur VMAX Starter Set, in the Sword & Shield Family Pokémon Card Game set, in the Start Deck 100 (available in both Non Holofoil and Mirror Holofoil versions), and as a Mirror Holofoil in the Start Deck 100 CoroCoro Comic Version. Outside Asia, it was reprinted in the special Champion's Path and Crown Zenith expansions.
Scarlet & Violet Series
During the Scarlet & Violet Series, Potion was reprinted in the Scarlet & Violet expansion with new artwork by Ayaka Yoshida, first released in the Japanese ex Starter Set Sprigatito & Lucario ex. It was reprinted in the Japanese ex Start Decks and the Pokémon Card Game Battle Academy Deck Kit.
Unnumbered prints were included in the My First Battle Deck Kits, stamped on the bottom-right with silhouettes of Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle that correspond to each mini deck. These prints lack a regulation mark and have a different card back, making them illegal for tournament play.
