The card’s flavor text describes a unique play condition, requiring the player to have at least one Basic Pokémon card in their hand. When played, it allows the player to place a Basic Pokémon from their hand into play as their Active Pokémon. The old Active Pokémon is moved to the Bench, but this action is restricted if the Bench is already full. The card’s supertype identifies it as a Trainer, a category common in Pokémon TCG sets.
