Both prints feature artwork by aky CG Works. It was reprinted as one of the SWSH Black Star Promos with different artwork by PLANETA Mochizuki and was available in the Celebrations Premium Figure Collection—Pikachu VMAX from October 22, 2021. In Japan, this print was released as one of the S-P Promotional cards and was available as part of the PikaPika! Pikachu! Promo Card Campaign!, which began on September 18, 2020. For every six Amazing Volt Tackle booster packs purchased in one transaction at participating stores, customers would receive a Promo Card Pack containing one of five possible cards. Customers could also receive five of these Promo Card Packs for every Amazing Volt Tackle booster box purchased per transaction.[1] The promotion ran for as long as stocks lasted. The Japanese version of this print has the campaign logo on the right edge of the artwork. In Japan, the Vivid Voltage Regular print was reprinted in the VMAX Climax subset and in the 25th Anniversary Golden Box, the latter of which has a blue and gold "25th" graphic on the right edge of the artwork. The VMAX Climax subset also included a Character Secret Rare print with artwork by Souichirou Gunjima and a gold Secret Full Art print with artwork by aky CG Works, both of which were later included in the Lost Origin expansion outside Asia.

Trivia
Origin
This card features Gigantamax Pikachu. G-Max Volt Tackle appears to be a G-Max Move version of Volt Tackle, a move in the Pokémon games that Pikachu can learn. Red is featured in the Lost Origin Trainer Gallery Full Art print's illustration, who uses a Pikachu in the majority of games in which he appears as an opponent.
