Release Information

This card was included in the Fossil expansion as both a Star Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese Mystery of the Fossils as a Cosmos Holofoil card. In Japan, it was reprinted with different artwork by Ken Sugimori, available as a prize at the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament. Those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either a Zapdos, Articuno, or Moltres phone card at random in a sealed envelope. An alternate Cosmos Holofoil print was included in the English Thunderstorm Theme Deck. This print changes the final copyright from ©1999 Wizards to ©1999-2000 Wizards.

Trivia

The Phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card. That print utilizes the same stock Sugimori artwork of Zapdos that was later used on the Zapdos Legendary Card from Pokémon Trading Card Game.
All prints of the English Holofoil Zapdos contain an error where they lack Holofoil where the Evolutionary Box for Stage 1 Pokémon and Stage 2 Pokémon normally is.
