This card was included in the Base Set, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection expansions. For the Evolutions expansion and the Japanese Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary subset during the Generation VI XY Era, it was reprinted as a retro card featuring the same artwork and an updated card template reminiscent of the Original Era layout.

Early prints of the Base Set print have the HP read "HP 40" instead of "40 HP" and "Length" instead of "Weight".
