This card was released as one of two promotional cards, alongside {{TCG ID|HGSS Promo|Wobbuffet|4}}, available in the {{merch|HeartGold & SoulSilver|HeartGold & SoulSilver Blisters}}. In Japan, it was available as a Gold Point prize through the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]]'s Action Point system, which replaced the Pokémon Fan Club and its EXP Point system in May 2008. There were two prints for the Daisuki Club: Once in the DPt-P series and once in the L-P series. The DPt-P card was made, then quickly the series changed to the L-P series, so only a few people got this card in the DPt-P series before it changed to L-P series. Most people did not have enough points to get the DPt-P card before it changed, making the DPt-P version much rarer.It was also distributed alongside the Pokémon Card Game gold rank gift card in October 2009.
