Release information

This card was included in the XY expansion, first released in the Japanese Collection X. It was later released as an Unnumbered Holofoil XY-P Promotional card to those who won four times in a row in the Victory Battle side event at the Battle Festa event held in December 2013. This print features the Battle Festa logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork. Two like-numbered XY-P Promotional prints were later released on January 31, 2014. The first was one of four possible promotional cards given to customers who purchased ¥1000 worth of Pokémon Card Game products at participating stores as part of the Lizardon Mega Battle Commemoration Campaign, which launched in celebration of the release of the Xerneas and Yveltal Half Decks, and ultimately the start of the Lizardon Mega Battle in May 2014. This print features the campaign logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork. The second was packaged with copies of the Xerneas Half Deck Famitsu Navi Book and Yveltal Half Deck Famitsu Navi Book. This print does not feature any additional logo stamps.

Starting March 14, 2015, customers who purchased the M Rayquaza-EX Mega Battle Deck at participating Pokémon Centers would receive an XY-P Promotional print of this card numbered 125/XY-P until supplies ran out. It was reprinted as part of the Japanese M Master Deck Build Box Power Style and M Master Deck Build Box Speed Style, released August 7, 2015. It was reprinted during the Japanese Sun & Moon Era, in The Best of XY subset and the Extra Regulation Box.
