Trivia
- The initial Japanese CoroCoro print, together with Jigglypuff, were the first Pokémon TCG cards released, available five days before the release of Expansion Pack on October 20, 1996.
- The English print is commonly known as Ivy Pikachu in reference to the background design of the illustration.
- A small number of the English print with a 1st Edition symbol was available in the 1st Edition release of Jungle. For many years, this was assumed to have been an error; however, the emergence of a prototype Jungle booster pack, together with preliminary images showcasing the upcoming North American release of the expansion in Volume 2 of the Japanese publication Pokémon Card Trainers, suggest this was intentional. Both booster packs include similar text on the Poké Ball graphic not present on final 1st Edition Jungle packs: "Capture the rare Pikachu card! Look on inside wrapper!"
