Release information

Trivia

 * All Japanese versions feature the TCG Team Rocket expansion symbol, indicating that it is a promotional addition to the Japanese set. The prints released via CoroCoro and the Pokémon Song Best Collection have an 'R' symbol with a red drop shadow and are printed on glossy card stock, whereas the 'R' on the Kamex Mega Battle participation print has a white drop shadow and is printed on non-glossy card stock.
 * This card has essentially the same effect as from the TCG L-P Promotional cards, but with the option of drawing up to 5 cards.

Origin
This card may be a reference to the plot of Jessie, James, and in EP038, where they attempted to steal Pokémon by directly hacking into the PC system of a Pokémon Center; or to the many glitches, such as the Hall of Fame glitch, which occur in  due to the capture of MissingNo..
