Release information

This card was included in the Emerging Powers expansion, first released in the Japanese Black Collection. In Japan, an unnumbered Mirror Foil BW-P Promotional print was later awarded to participants of the World Challenge Tournament event held over the course of Battle Carnival 2012 Spring who managed to reach the 'Premier Stage'. In order to reach the 'Premier Stage', players had to win three consecutive battles in the initial 'Challenge Stage'. The Battle Carnival took place at the Sendai Sun Plaza, Sendai on May 3, 2012; at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama on May 12 and 13, 2012; at Port Messe Nagoya, Nagoya on May 20, 2012; and at Intex Osaka, Osaka on June 3, 2012. It was reprinted again in the Japanese Master Deck Build Box EX, released on September 14, 2012. A Secret print was included in the Plasma Freeze expansion, first released in the Japanese Thunder Knuckle expansion.

During the XY Series, Max Potion was included in the BREAKpoint expansion with new artwork by Toyste Beach, first released in the Japanese Golduck BREAK + Palkia-EX Combo Deck on October 9, 2015. This print was also released as an unnumbered Mirror Holofoil XY-P Promotional card during Battle Festa 2015, awarded to those who record three wins in either the morning or afternoon session of the Victory Battle event at each venue. Battle Festa 2015 was held at four locations across Japan: Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Exhibition Hall, Hiroshima on November 3, 2015; Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama on November 7, 2015; Intex Osaka, Osaka on November 15, 2015; and Nagoya Trade & Industry Center, Nagoya on November 29, 2015.

In Japan, the Regular print was reprinted again as a Mirror Holofoil in the GX Battle Boost subset and as a Non Holofoil in the GX Ultra Shiny subset, the Tag Team GX Premium Trainer Box, and the Umbreon & Darkrai-GX Tag Team GX Starter Set. It was reprinted as a Yellow A Alternate card with different artwork once again by Toyste Beach and distributed through the Pokémon League during the third cycle of the Team Up Season (April 2019). This print originated from the Japanese Night Unison subset.
