Release information
Scarlet & Violet Series
This card was included in the Temporal Forces expansion with artwork by AYUMI ODASHIMA, first released in the Japanese Wild Force expansion. In Japan, it was reprinted as a SV-P Promotional card and was distributed as part two separate First Entry Campaigns. One of these campaigns took place between January 26 and April 8, 2024, during which participating Pokémon Card Gym venues held a stamp rally that incorporated Gym Battle, New Release Battle, Deck As Is Battle, Terastal Battle, and Extra Battle Day events. People that participated in any of these events for the first time during the campaign were given a stamp card; those that presented the card in a subsequent eligible event would get it stamped. Those that earned at least one stamp was given the promotional print of this card; those earning at least two stamps were given a promotional copy of either Miraidon or Koraidon.[1]
Pokémon Card Gym venues held another First Entry Campaign between July 19 and September 30, 2024. Stamp rallies were conducted in the same manner as the earlier campaign and incorporated the following events: Gym Battle, New Release Battle, Deck As Is Battle, Terastal Battle, Friend Battle Together, and Extra Battle Day. Participants that received at least one stamp on their stamp card from this campaign were given a copy of the SV-P Promotional print; those earning at least two stamps were given a promotional Noctowl card.[2] The SV-P Promotional print available in both campaigns features the Pokémon Card Gym logo and the collection number 150/SV-P.
In Japan, the Regular print was also reprinted in the Stellar Miracle Deck Build Box, the Terastal Fest ex subset, the Battle Partners Deck Build Box, and the Steven and Marnie ex Starter Sets. Its inclusion in the Terastal Fest ex subset prompted it to be reprinted in the special Prismatic Evolutions expansion outside Asia.
Another Japanese reprint was one of seven SV-P Promotional cards available in Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 9, which was distributed at Pokémon Card Gym venues able to do so from January 24, 2025.[3] This SV-P Promotional print was also available as part of the inaugural Pokémon Card Gym Entry Campaign, which was held at participating Pokémon Card Gym venues between March 1 and August 31, 2025. Following an update to the Players Club on September 2, 2024,[4] the First Entry Campaigns from 2023 and 2024 were rebranded Pokémon Card Gym Entry Campaigns and incorporated into a new My Gym feature. This feature allowed registered players to assign up to three Pokémon Card Gym venues as a 'My Gym', which allowed them to see specific upcoming events and be able to acquire prizes. Players that took part in an event at one of their assigned Gyms and checked in via the event's QR code would earn a digital Gym Stamp.
Players that earned two Gym Stamps during the campaign period became eligible for the promotional print of this card; those that earned four stamps became eligible for a promotional Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex card. Upon reaching prize thresholds, players could confirm these with venue staff and receive a copy of the relevant card. While the campaign ran from March 1 to August 31, 2025, players could claim their prizes up to October 31, 2025. Players could not change an assigned Gym for three months, and an assigned Gym would be automatically canceled if a player had not recorded any activity there for more than one year. A maximum of four Gym Stamps could be earned per campaign period, which was planned to cycle every six months. Gym Stamps would reset at the start of a new campaign period.[5] This SV-P Promotional print features the Pokémon Card Gym logo and the collection number 237/SV-P.
In Japan, Buddy-Buddy Poffin was reprinted as another SV-P Promotional card and was one of eight cards that could be found in 2025 Endorsed Independent Event Trainers Packs. Certified Event Organizers distributed these packs at events they oversaw starting March 1, 2025.[6] This print features the Event Organizer logo and the collection number 244/SV-P.
