Trivia

  • Due to this card first being released after Basic Energy cards stopped listing illustrator credits in the Expedition Base Set, no print of this card has an illustrator listed.
  • This is the only Basic Energy card to have ever been rotated out of play, following the retirement of the Fairy type in the TCG.[1]
