Release information

In Japan, this card was first released as one of the SM-P Promotional cards with artwork by Kagemaru Himeno and was awarded to players who had accumulated at least 120 Championship Points over the course of the 2017-2018 season. Points could be accumulated up to August 31, 2018 and could be earned in several Japanese Premier Events held throughout the season. These included the 2018 Champion's League, the 2018 Champion's League 1st Certified Tournament, City Leagues, Trainer's Leagues, Station Leagues, and the 2018 Japan Championships. This print features the Champion's League 2018 logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration. Copies of this print began to be distributed in early October 2018. Another SM-P Promotional print with a different collection number and new artwork by the same artist was awarded to players accumulating at least 60 Championship Points over the course of the 2018-2019 season, up to August 31, 2019 inclusive. Eligible events included the 2019 Champion's League, the 2019 Champion's League Certified Tournament, the 2019 Japan Championships, as well as City Leagues, Trainer's Leagues, and Station Leagues held throughout the season. This print has the Championship Series 2019 logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration and began to be distributed in early October 2019.

The 2019-2020 season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the print for this season was distributed to players accumulating at least 30 Championship Points. This print is a S-P Promotional card, features a different illustration once again by Kagemaru Himeno, and has the Championship Series 2020 logo in the bottom right corner of it. Eligible events included the Tokyo and Aichi 2020 Champion's League tournaments plus City Leagues, Trainer's Leagues, and Station Leagues that were completed before restrictions were introduced. Copies of this print began to be distributed in mid-September 2020. The 2020 print was the last print of this card, as Celebration Fanfare was distributed instead from the 2021 season onwards.
