The card’s number in the set is 7, though its rarity is unspecified. This Trainer card emphasizes strategic deck management through its randomized search mechanic.

Flip 2 coins. For each heads, search your deck for a Basic Pokémon, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.
