Release information
This card was included in the TCG Fossil expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese TCG Mystery of the Fossils expansion as a Holofoil card. In Japan, it was reprinted with different artwork by Ken Sugimori, available as a prize at the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament. Those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either Moltres, or  phone card at random in a sealed envelope. The Fossil Non Holofoil print was later reprinted in the TCG Legendary Collection expansion.
