Release information

This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art Secret card in the Sun & Moon expansion, first released in the Japanese Collection Sun. Both prints feature artwork by 5ban Graphics. In Japan, the Regular print was also printed in the Sun & Moon Starter Set released on the same day, December 9, 2016. A special Holofoil SM-P Promotional print was included in the February 2017 issue of CoroCoro Ichiban!, released December 21, 2016. Another SM-P Promotional print was given to participants of the Teaching Corner held at each chosen School Festa 2017 venue across Japan between October 1 and November 30, 2017. Representatives from Pokémon circles in schools and universities were required to register their interest in hosting an event during the application period, which ran from July 7 until September 15, 2017. If selected, The Pokémon Company would supply the circle with all paraphernalia to host the event. This print has the School Festa 2017 logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration. The Regular print was reprinted as a Mirror Holofoil print in the Japanese GX Battle Boost subset. It was reprinted with different artwork by aky CG Works in the Japanese GG End subset.

Trivia

This card's effect is similar to that of Redeemable Ticket, released later in the Journey Together expansion. The only difference is that Rotom Dex shuffles the player's Prize cards into the deck, while Redeemable Ticket puts the Prize cards on the bottom of the deck.

Origin

A Rotom Dex is an important piece of equipment in the Generation VII Pokémon games. The GG End print features a Nintendo Switch in the illustration.
