Release Information
This card was one of four possible Wizards Black Star Promos that people could receive with the purchase of a ticket for the theatrical release of Mewtwo Strikes Back starting November 12, 1999. It has a gold foil stamp in the top right corner that reads "Kids WB Presents Pokémon The First Movie". Unknown quantities of this print erroneously have the gold foil stamp on the opposite corner rotated 180 degrees. In Japan, it was distributed as an Unnumbered Promotional card by All Nippon Airlines between November 1 and 31, 1998. Passengers flying in conjunction with the "Get in a Jet! Double Chance Campaign" could redeem two domestic boarding pass stubs for a two-card set that included Flying Pikachu and Dragonite. Five thousand of these passengers were also selected by lottery to receive either a children's-size ANA Pokémon Jet Stadium Jumper or a Game Boy Color. It was later reprinted in the Japanese Pokémon Web expansion using the e-Card Series layout.
