Release Information
This card was released as one of two promotional cards, alongside Wobbuffet, available in the HeartGold & SoulSilver Three Pack Blister. In Japan, it was available as a Gold Point prize through the Pokémon Daisuki Club's Action Point system, which replaced the Pokémon Fan Club and its EXP Point system in May 2008. There were two prints for the Daisuki Club: Once in the DPt-P series and once in the L-P series. The DPt-P card was made, then quickly the series changed to the L-P series, so only a few people got this card in the DPt-P series before it changed to L-P series. Most people did not have enough points to get the DPt-P card before it changed, making the DPt-P version much rarer.It was also distributed alongside the Pokémon Card Game gold rank gift card in October 2009.
