Release information

In Japan, this card was reprinted with artwork from one of five winning entries of the CoroCoro Pokémon Snap contest held in Spring 1999 with the winning entry of Ryouichi Abe. This version is extremely rare and the exact number in existence is unknown. This card was reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection reprint sets, which were only released outside of Japan.

• A few copies of the original Base Set print of the card had their collection number "6/102" printed too far to the left.
