Trivia
- Every English release of this card altered the color of Jynx's face to avoid any potential blackface controversy. As a result, Jynx's face was changed from black to dark purple in the Base Set and was lightened even more so for the subsequent reprints.
- In the international and Virtual Console releases of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the background of this card was changed from black to dark purple (international) and light purple (Virtual Console) to coincide with the alterations.
- The English version of this card was the first to have TCG-exclusive Pokédex entry.
Origin

This card's Japanese Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
