Trivia

  • The background on the English print is entirely Holofoil, whereas on the Japanese print, only the sky is Holofoil.
  • The Card GB version of this card could only be obtained through Card Pop! and is the only card out of the two Phantom Cards to be actually produced. In the Virtual Console version of Pokémon Trading Card Game for the Nintendo 3DS, however, Card Pop! is disabled, rendering this card unobtainable on that platform.
  • This was an orphaned card for a time when it came to the Modified format due to the only Bulbasaur card at the time being in the first rotation. It would not be fully playable in the format until a Bulbasaur was printed in Legendary Collection.

Origin

Solar Power is an Ability later introduced in the Generation IV Pokémon games that Venusaur cannot have; however, the Japanese names are different, making the two unrelated. Mega Drain is a move in the Pokémon games that Venusaur could learn via TM21 in Generation I. The card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, whereas the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
