==Trivia==
[[File:Birdtriobanner.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The complete image by [[Toshinao Aoki]]]]
*The initial print of the Wizards promo erroneously credited Toshinao Aoki as the illustrator, who illustrated the Japanese promo. Wizards rectified the error, with subsequent prints correctly crediting Naoyo Kimura as the illustrator. However, the change was brought about close to or after the release of the film, so it is likely to assume fewer people received the correct version later into the campaign compared to those who received the misprint earlier.
*This card's Japanese artwork is part of a larger image, which also includes [[Moltres (Wizards Promo 21)]] and [[Articuno (Wizards Promo 22)]].

Trivia

The complete image by Toshinao Aoki
  • The initial print of the Wizards promo erroneously credited Toshinao Aoki as the illustrator, who illustrated the Japanese promo. Wizards rectified the error, with subsequent prints correctly crediting Naoyo Kimura as the illustrator. However, the change was brought about close to or after the release of the film, so it is likely to assume fewer people received the correct version later into the campaign compared to those who received the misprint earlier.
  • This card's Japanese artwork is part of a larger image, which also includes Moltres (Wizards Promo 21) and Articuno (Wizards Promo 22).
