Collector Insights

Challenge! is a Trainer card from the Rocket Gang set, released in 1997. It is illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and has a rarity of Uncommon. The card’s theme color is a warm golden-brown, matching its tactical flavor. Its flavor text describes a challenge mechanism where players exchange cards based on mutual agreement. If the opponent declines or both Benches are full, the challenger draws two cards. Otherwise, both players search their decks for Basic Pokémon cards to place face down on their Benches. The card’s unique interaction involves reshuffling decks after the exchange. It emphasizes strategic decision-making through conditional outcomes.

Ask your opponent if he or she accepts your challenge. If your opponent declines (or if both Benches are full), draw 2 cards. If your opponent accepts, each of you searches your decks for any number of Basic Pokémon cards and puts them face down onto your Benches. (A player can't do this if his or her Bench is full.) When you both have finished, shuffle your decks and turn those cards face up.
