Release information

This card was reprinted in the Base Set 2 reprint set, which was only released outside of Japan. This card was also reprinted in the EX Ruby & Sapphire and EX FireRed & LeafGreen sets with different artwork by K. Hoshiba; in EX Unseen Forces, EX Crystal Guardians and Diamond & Pearl with another different artwork by Shin-ichi Yoshikawa; and in Majestic Dawn and Platinum with yet another different artwork by Ryo Ueda. It was reprinted in the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion with new artwork by Hideaki Hakozaki. The Japanese release of this print was reclassified as a Goods card, but the English did not adopt this name and continued classifying it as a Trainer card. It was printed with another new artwork in the Battle Starter Decks by Noriko Hotta. The card has seen its fair share of tweaks since its introduction, first in EX Ruby & Sapphire then in EX Unseen Forces and Diamond & Pearl print.

Trivia

This card was the only Trainer card released in the Jungle expansion, and by extension, the only non-Pokémon card in the same expansion.
