Release information

This card was included in the Japanese Eevee Heroes VMAX Special Set with artwork by 5ban Graphics. In Japan, it was reprinted as a Full Art S-P Promotional card with artwork by Atsushi Furusawa and was one in a set of three Eeveelution VMAX cards available through the Summer Pokémon Card Campaign.

The card set was first awarded to the winner of the invitation-only Summer Pokémon Card 1st Battle, which took place on July 9, 2021 and consisted of eight players. Matches in this tournament were Limited Format with four Prize cards, requiring players to construct a 40-card deck using the cards obtained from 15 Skyscraping Perfection booster packs or 15 Blue Sky Stream booster packs. Additional Energy cards and one copy of Hop were also available if required. The tournament was livestreamed on video platforms Niconico and YouTube and offered prizes to those watching. Three key words were displayed over the course of the steam, which were the subject of a quiz held later in the broadcast. Viewers wishing to enter the competition were required to follow the Twitter accounts of ponyta ishii, raichumkw, and nanapuru, all of whom appear on the official Pokémon Card Channel, and tweet an answer with the hashtag #夏ポケカ1stバトル, Summer Pokéka 1st Battle. Those with correct answers were entered into lotteries for two prize packages. One winner would receive the Special Art Promo Card Present, a set of the three Eeveelution VMAX cards, and two winners would receive an Expansion Pack Present, a booster box each of Skyscraping Perfection and Blue Sky Stream.

The Summer Pokémon Card Campaign began publicly on July 21, 2021 and ran until September 30. During this time, people wishing to take part were required to play a match and complete an application form detailing the match format and type of deck used. Participants were required to have a Player ID, an email address, and a code for the they deck used, which could be obtained by building it in the Deck Construction section of the Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website. Only one entry per person would be accepted. All valid applicants were entered into a lottery to receive one of 3,000 sets of the three Eeveelution VMAX cards. Winners began to receive their sets in October 2021.
