Release Information

This card was released as a holographic HGSS Black Star Promo available in the Triumphant Three Pack Blister in November 2010. In Japan, this card was available through the "Summer Battle Campaign," a special variant of traditional Japanese Gym Challenges which used a points system similar to English and European Pokémon Leagues. Participating venues provided a Points Card, in which players could earn a stamp (equal to one "point") by purchasing LEGEND-era booster packs, by battling other players, or by making a new friend at a venue. Points earned from booster packs was limited to ten, and points earned by battling others was limited to ten per day. The card was awarded to anyone who had accumulated five points throughout the campaign, which ran throughout August 2010.

Trivia

The Japanese release of this card features the Gym Challenge logo for the 2009-2010 season.
