Release Information
- In Japan, this card was reprinted with different artwork by Ken Sugimori. At the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament, those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either a Zapdos, Articuno or Moltres at random in a sealed envelope.

Trivia
- The Phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card.
- Some early prints of the card punch out evolution symbols in the holofoil, leaving behind an area in the picture not covered in holofoil.
