Release information
This card was released as a promotional card. In Japan, it was available as a prize card through the "Tamamushi University Hyper Test" campaign held in June 1998. The campaign was publicized in Shōgakukan's CoroCoro magazine in the form of a series of tests in which participants could complete and send back to Shōgakukan within a limited period. Those that passed were sent an invitation to a two-day conference in Osaka. On the first day, the participants were separated into three age categories and were then assigned groups based on the various Gyms in the Pokémon games. Each player within one of these groups battled other members of that group, with the top players within each group qualifying for the second day. The second day consisted of a series of battles between the top players within each age category. Those that won a battle during the course of the day were awarded this card at the end of the conference.
The card artwork was later reprinted in the Pokémon Web expansion. The Web reprint was printed in the e-reader card format and is considerably more common than the elusive original print. The card was never released in English.
Trivia
- This card is commonly known as the University Magikarp.
- The rarity of the card is disputed. Based on the number of people who were at the Osaka conference on day two, it is estimated that no more than 100 cards were awarded, while some sources quote that there were only around 30 produced.
Origin
Dragon Rage is a move in the Pokémon games; however, Magikarp cannot learn it.
