This card was included in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Collection X}}. Starting February 7, 2014, a limited release of an exclusive Cosmos Holofoil of the English print was given to attendees that went to see {{wp|The LEGO Movie}} in North American theaters. In Europe, this print was released in a sampling pack available during the [[List of PAL region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Spring 2014 Pokémon|Spring 2014 Pokémon event distributions]]. It was later reprinted as an exclusive Confetti Holofoil in the English {{TCG|McDonald's Collection 2014}}. In Japan, it was reprinted in the {{TCG|M Master Deck Build Box Speed Style}}, released on August 7, 2015, and again as a Holofoil {{TCG|XY-P Promotional cards|promotional card}} in both the [[XY BREAK TCG Era merchandise#Mega Charizard X Poncho-wearing Pikachu Special Box|Mega Charizard X]] and {{TCGMerch|XY BREAK|Era|Mega Charizard Y Poncho-wearing Pikachu Special Box}}es, released simultaneously on January 1, 2016. The promotional print features the Pokémon Center logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork.

It was reprinted again in the English {{TCG|Generations}} expansion as both a Regular card and a {{TCG|Full Art card}}. The Regular print features artwork by [[Atsuko Nishida]], while the Full Art print features artwork by [[Kagemaru Himeno]], originating from the Japanese {{TCG|BREAK Starter Pack}} and {{TCG|PokéKyun Collection}}, respectively. A special Holofoil variant of the Generations Regular print with a {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} stamp was made available during {{DL|Pokémon 20th Anniversary|Pokémon Day}}, a special event held for children on February 27, 2016. In the UK, a Holofoil version of the Regular print, featuring the 20th Anniversary logo in the bottom right of the artwork, was given away at {{wp|Game (retailer)|GAME}} stores from March 25, 2016 until supplies ran out.

This card was reprinted in Japan as an unnumbered {{TCG|XY-P Promotional cards|XY-P Promotional card}} and was given to the first 13,000 visitors to collabo mignon, a ''purikura'' photo booth store in 109, Shibuya, Tokyo, which opened on March 12, 2016. The illustration features art by [[Mizue]] and an image of fashion model Nicole Fujita, who was involved with the collabo mignon launch campaign. This print also features the same Holofoil inset as cards from the {{TCG|PokéKyun Collection}}, the PokéKyun Collection set logo, and a handwritten message from Nicole Fujita, which reads ''daisuki Nicole''. This print was also later available at locations hosting the Kamex Mega Battle throughout May 2016. It was given to people who took a photo at the PokéKyun♥ Photo Spot present at each venue. The Collection X print was reprinted in the Japanese {{TCG|Premium Champion Pack}} as a Mirror Reverse Holofoil.
