Collector Insights

The card includes two attacks: "Call for Family" and "Smash Short," both costing one Colorless energy. "Call for Family" allows the player to search their deck for up to three Basic Pokémon and place them on their Bench, then shuffle their deck. "Smash Short" deals 10 damage plus an additional 30 if the defending Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool card attached, followed by discarding that Tool card and discarding matching Tools from the opponent's hand.
