This card was included in the Fossil expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese Mystery of the Fossils expansion as a Holofoil card.

Trivia

This card was the first Pokémon card with no attacks of its own.
This card was not included in Pokémon Trading Card Game or Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR! due to its potentially difficult to program Pokémon Power. It shares this trait with Electrode.
This is the only card that mentions "Hit Points" instead of the abbreviation "HP" in its English text.

Origin

Transform is a move in the Pokémon games that Ditto can learn. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, whereas the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
