Once diluted, its poison becomes medicinal. This Pokémon came into popularity after a pharmaceutical company chose it as a mascot.

Release information
This card was included in the Fusion Strike expansion with artwork by Nagomi Nijo, first released in the Japanese Skyscraping Perfection expansion. In Japan, a S-P Promotional print with different artwork by Yuya Oka was one of seven cards available in Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 7, which was distributed at Pokémon Card Gym venues able to do so from September 2021. This print features the Pokémon Card Gym logo.
Based on the release schedules of previous Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Packs, it is likely the Japanese S-P Promotional print would have been available alongside the dual Skyscraping Perfection and Blue Sky Stream expansion on July 9, 2021. However, due to the delay of Promo Card Packs 5 and 6 amid COVID-19 restrictions, Promo Card Pack 7 did not become available until September. As a result, this card was officially released first in Taiwan and Hong Kong as a Chinese-language Template:CTCG in early August 2021.
