Search your deck for an Item card and a Pokémon Tool card, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

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 8,098 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.
