Release information
Beginning with the Autumn 2011 Battle Roads, Victory Cup was awarded to those who won first, second, or third place at Battle Roads tournaments. In Japan, it was awarded to the top three competitors from each league in each of the Victory Cup events held over the course of Battle Carnival 2011. It was awarded again in the same manner to the top three competitors of the World Challenge Tournament events held over the course of Battle Carnival 2012 Spring. For Battle Carnival 2012 Autumn, the card was awarded to the top three competitors in the Junior League and in the Open League of the Victory Cup 2012 events. Four leagues were present in the Battle Carnival 2013 Spring World Challenge Tournament events, with these cards awarded to the top three competitors from each one.
To progress to the final 'Climax Stage' in each of the events, players had to accumulate as many consecutive wins at the 'Premier Stage' as possible, a prerequisite of which was three/four consecutive wins at the initial 'Challenge Stage'. When the allocated time for the 'Challenge Stage' ended, the top four/sixteen/eight players in terms of consecutive 'Premier Stage' wins were eligible to enter the knockout 'Climax Stage'.

Trivia
- This card's effect matches that of the most recent print of Poké Ball.
- Other than the top ranking cards awarded at the TCG World Championships (which are only printed in English), Victory Cup was the first 'trophy card' to be released in English before Japanese.
- The illustrations for Victory Cup take inspiration from the top ranking cards awarded over the course of the 2000, 2001, and 2002 competitive seasons in Japan, in that more Pokémon are present in the illustration as the rank increases.
