Collector Insights

Pokémon Card Laboratory is a Stadium card with a promo rarity, released as part of the PCG Promos set on February 1, 2004. Its flavor text describes a gameplay mechanic where a player places a Pokémon card from their hand face down and challenges their opponent to guess an attack name on that card. The card’s ability involves flipping the card to determine if the guess was correct, rewarding the opponent with a draw if they succeed or giving the player a draw if they fail. The card’s unique interaction encourages strategic play and engagement between players. Designed by artist Katsura Tabata, it features a thematic representation of a laboratory setting, aligning with its function as a game-altering Stadium. The card’s number in the set is 24, and its design reflects the promotional nature of its release. This card’s effect directly influences turn dynamics by introducing a guessing game that shifts card advantage between players.

Put a Pokémon card from your hand face down in front of you and tell your opponent the name of that Pokémon. Your opponent guesses the name of an attack on that card. Flip the card over. If your opponent guessed right, he or she draws 1 card. If your opponent guessed wrong, you draw 1 card. Either way, return the card to your hand.
