FinishStandard (not reverse)

Near Mint: only very few, tiny white marks on the edges or corners are allowed. The surface must be clean, with no scratches or visible clouding from wear. Creases or significant wear rule out this grade. Never having been played does not, by itself, make a card NM.

What the card itself says

Its characteristics and effects in play, with the original text when available.

Regulation mark: G
Number: 229/197
Set: Obsidian FlamesOBFSet guide
Illustrated by: Oswaldo KATO

Once during each player's turn, that player may search their deck for a Basic Pokémon that doesn't have a Rule Box and put it onto their Bench. Then, that player shuffles their deck. (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.)

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
Keep in mind
None of the 7,625 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.
