These prints feature the updated Trainer card layout introduced with the Scarlet & Violet expansion, as well as the updated text for Item cards introduced during the Sword & Shield Series. In Japan, the Regular print was also included in each of the three ex Starter Sets, in the Premium Trainer Box ex, and as an SV-P Promotional card.
