Collector Insights

Lt. Surge's Secret Plan is a Trainer card from the Leaders' Stadium set, released in 1998. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, it features a theme centered on strategic card manipulation. The card allows a player to place a face-down card from their hand onto their Bench, treating it as a Basic Pokémon temporarily. Specific conditions trigger flipping the card, such as using an attack, evolving, or being damaged. It also lets the player flip the card at any time during their turn. The card’s mechanics involve discarding it if it isn’t a Basic Pokémon upon flipping. Its rarity is listed as Rare, and it carries the theme color #b6945d. This card emphasizes tactical flexibility through its unique interaction with the Bench and card states.

Put 1 card from your hand face down onto your Bench. (You can't play this card if your Bench is full.) Treat that card as a Basic Pokémon as long as it's face down. Flip the card if either player ever needs to know what it is in order to use an attack, a Pokémon Power, or a Trainer card. Flip the card if it ever uses an attack or Pokémon Power, evolves, retreats, is damaged by an attack, or is otherwise affected by an attack. At any time during your turn, you may flip the card over. When you flip that card over, if it isn't a Basic Pokémon, discard it and all cards attached to it.
