Release information
In Japan, this card was released as a promotional card by All Nippon Airlines throughout August and September in 1999, with artwork by Toshinao Aoki. Passengers flying in conjunction with the "Pokémon Getaways" campaign could redeem their boarding passes for a two-card set that included Zapdos and Moltres. The English version was one of the Wizards Black Star Promos given away in the first few weeks of the theatrical release of The Power of One, with then English-exclusive artwork by Naoyo Kimura. This print was reprinted in Japan in Pokémon Web. The original Japanese artwork was eventually featured on English cards when reprinted in Supreme Victors as a retro card, having been reprinted in Japan in the Beat of the Frontier expansion.
