This card was available as an exclusive reward for members of the Pokémon fan club "Pokémon Card Game Players Club" in 2005, during season 3. Players needed to collect at least 40,000 experience points (EXP) to receive this card. EXP could be earned through various activities, such as participating in official tournaments, attending events, or submitting barcodes from TCG purchases. Due to the high EXP requirement and the short time frame for collecting points, reaching the required level to claim this Espeon ☆ prize was extremely challenging. As a result, this card is incredibly rare and valuable, with only a few in circulation today.
