This card was included in the Diamond & Pearl expansion with artwork by Ken Sugimori, first released in the Japanese Space-Time Creation expansion. It was later included in the Torterra Half Deck of the Japanese Entry Pack. A Holofoil DP-P Promotional print was available in Japan as part of the Trade Please DP event held at participating Pokémon Centers from July 8, 2007 for as long as stocks lasted. Visitors could trade any 1 Pokémon card (including International cards and Japanese cards with a classic reverse) with attendants for 1 of 3 promotional cards at random. Trainer cards and Energy cards were specifically excluded from the trade. This card was reprinted again as a Japanese DP-P Promotional card with different artwork by Masakazu Fukuda as part of a Meiji Chocolate campaign in July 2007. A promotional Reverse Holofoil variant of the Diamond & Pearl print with a "Diamond & Pearl" stamp was later released as part of a Burger King promotion in July 2008.
