Release information

In Japan, this card was one of five that could be obtained through the Communication Evolution campaign, which began in April 1999. Participants had to send a Haunter card along with Bill's PC in the mail to MediaFactory. MediaFactory would then send back the 'evolved' form. It was later reprinted in Pokémon Web.

Trivia

• Although the vending machine cards were all printed on glossy card stock, the Masaki promos were all printed on regular card stock.
