(Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc. have Rule Boxes.)Une fois pendant le tour de chaque joueur, ce joueur-là peut chercher dans son deck un Pokémon de base sans encadré Règle et le placer sur son Banc. Ce joueur mélange ensuite son deck. (Les Pokémon-ex, Pokémon-V, etc. ont des encadrés Règle.)

A strength
No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
Keep in mind
None of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Mark G. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
