Release information

English

There have been 32 English prints of the Basic Fairy Energy. The first is the Unnumbered ©2013 print included within the Sylveon Collection released on November 15, 2013, the English Chespin Deck of the Kalos Starter Set, the Resilient Life and Enchanted Echo Theme Deck, the XY Elite Trainer Box, Furious Fists Elite Trainer Box, Phantom Forces Elite Trainer Box, Battle Arena Decks: Xerneas vs. Yveltal, and in an Energy Pack available as part of the Play! Pokémon Professor merchandise when the Professor Store reopened on September 23, 2014. The second is the print included in the XY expansion. Prints three through fourteen are included in the Sylveon Half Deck of the XY Trainer Kit, due to the Trainer Kit's unique numbering. The fifteenth print is the Sheen Holofoil Unnumbered ©2013 print included within Battle Arena Decks: Xerneas vs. Yveltal. Eleven more distinct prints are included in the XY Trainer Kit: Bisharp & Wigglytuff. Two more prints are from the Generations and Evolutions expansions, respectively. The Evolutions print uses a layout similar to Original Series Basic Energy cards, while the Generations energy features several horizontal bars in the background. Another unnumbered print was introduced with the Sun & Moon series in 2017. Later, in the Burning Shadows expansion, another printing was released as a secret card with gold border and sparkles. With the Team Up expansion came another refresh to basic energy styling and another unnumbered print. In the Sword & Shield series, though the Fairy type was discontinued, a new printing of this card was included in Basic Energy packs in Elite Trainer Boxes. The last product it was included in was the Celebrations Elite Trainer Box.

Japanese

The Basic Fairy Energy was first released in the Chespin Half Decks of both the XY Beginning Set and the XY Beginning Set for Girls. A further print was included in the Xerneas & Yveltal Card Box.

Trivia

• Due to this card first being released after Basic Energy cards stopped listing illustrator credits in the Expedition Base Set, no print of this card has an illustrator listed.
• This is the only Basic Energy card to have ever been rotated out of play, following the retirement of the Fairy type in the TCG.^[1]
