This card was included as a Regular card, a Secret Rainbow Rare, and a Special Full Art card in the Chilling Reign expansion, first released in the Japanese Peerless Fighters expansion. The Regular and Rainbow Rare prints feature artwork by AKIRA EGAWA, while the Special Full Art print features artwork by Shigenori Negishi. The Regular print was reprinted in the Japanese VMAX Climax subset alongside a Character Secret Rare print with artwork by KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA. The VMAX Climax Character Secret Rare print was later included in the Silver Tempest expansion.
Max Blaze appears to be a Max Move version of Blaze, an Ability in the Pokémon games that Blaziken can have. The attack in Japanese reads ダイブレイズ, of which one translation is Dai Blaze. The Ability's name in katakana is モウカ, which can be translated as Raging Flames. Which would mean the attack is likely originally referring to fire in general and not the Ability.
