Release information
In Japan, this card was released with artwork by Ken Sugimori as part of a special expansion sheet available at the 7th Next Generation World Hobby Fair, held in December 1997. It was later reprinted as one of a selection of cards included in the Pokémon Song Best Collection CD, released on January 1, 1999. The English version of this card was released through Nintendo Power Magazine in April 2000, with Magic: The Gathering illustrator Christopher Rush providing new artwork.

It was later reprinted in the Legendary Collection, which was only released outside of Japan.

Trivia
- The artwork change between the English and Japanese prints may have arisen due to the similarity of the Japanese artwork of this card to that of the first promo Mewtwo, as both are modified from Sugimori's Generation I stock art.
- This card is the only Pokémon card illustrated by Christpher Rush
- As the Japanese version of this card was originally distributed as part of an expansion sheet, it, along with Pikachu and Mew, are often regarded as unofficial additions to the Vending Machine cards collection, dubbed "Series 00".
Origin
Telekinesis is a move later introduced in the Generation V Pokémon games that Mewtwo can learn via TM19. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded.
