Its attacks

Invisible Hand

If any of your opponent's Active Pokémon are Evolved Pokémon, search your deck for any 1 card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

Repulsion

Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent returns the Defending Pokémon and all cards attached to it to his or her hand. (If your opponent doesn't have any Benched Pokémon or other Active Pokémon, this attack does nothing.)

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.

  1. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 1,533 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Ruby & Sapphire landed here on 1 July 2003.
