Collector Insights

Rival is a Supporter card from the Space-Time Creation set, released on November 30, 2006. It is numbered 121 and classified as Uncommon rarity. The card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, known for his detailed Pokémon artwork. Its flavor text describes a strategic interaction where a player reveals the top five cards of their deck, allowing the opponent to select three of those cards. The chosen cards are then placed into the player’s hand, while the remaining two are returned to the deck’s top. After this process, the deck is shuffled to maintain randomness. This ability emphasizes a direct, player-driven mechanic that influences both decks during gameplay. The card’s design and function align with the thematic elements of competition and tactical decision-making in the Pokémon TCG.

Reveal the top 5 cards of your deck. Your opponent chooses 3 of those cards. Put those cards into your hand and put other 2 cards on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward.
