Release information

This card was released in the English Expedition Base Set, originating from the Japanese Base Expansion Pack, with artwork by Hajime Kusajima. In Japan, it was reprinted as one of the P Promotional cards with different artwork by the same artist as part of a McDonald's promotion that ran between May 25 and June 16, 2002. It was later reprinted in the English EX Holon Phantoms expansion as a Holofoil Secret card with artwork by Ken Sugimori. This print originated as one of the Japanese PCG-P Promotional cards, and was available through a Meiji Chocolate campaign in June 2005. This print changes "number of Energy cards" in Super Psywave attack's effect to "amount of Energy", literally changing the effect from counting the cards to counting the Energy. A Non Holofoil version of the EX Holon Phantoms print was available in early DVD releases of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
