In Japan, it was first available as an Unnumbered Promotional card on a two-card insert alongside Jigglypuff in the November 1996 issue of CoroCoro Comic, released on October 15, 1996. This print uses glossy card stock and incorrectly credits Ken Sugimori as the illustrator. It was reprinted and included in copies of Easily Understand How to Play Pokémon Cards, released on November 30, 1996. This print updates the illustrator to the correct Keiji Kinebuchi and uses regular card stock.
