Illustrated by: saino misaki

Your opponent reveals their hand, and you put a Basic Pokémon you find there onto your opponent's Bench. If you put a Pokémon onto their Bench in this way, switch in that Pokémon to the Active Spot.相手の手札を見て、その中からたねポケモンを1枚選び、相手のベンチに出す。その後、そのポケモンをバトルポケモンと入れ替える。

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 5,392 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.
