Collector Insights

Paldean Student is a Supporter card from the Shiny Treasure ex set, released on December 1, 2023. Designed by artist Cona Nitanda, it features a unique ability that allows players to search their deck for Pokémon without a Rule Box. The card’s flavor text describes a mechanic where players reveal and draw cards based on the number of Students of Paldea cards in their discard pile. It has no listed HP value or attacks, focusing instead on its supporting role in gameplay. The card’s number in the set is 178, and it belongs to the Supporter supertype. Its ability emphasizes strategic deck management by incorporating discarded cards into the player’s hand. The rule about excluding Pokémon ex, V, and other variants with Rule Boxes is central to its function. This card’s design aligns with the set’s theme of treasure and discovery through its interactive mechanics.

Search your deck for a number of Pokémon without a Rule Box up to the number of Students of Paldea cards in your discard pile (including this card), reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck. (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc. have Rule Boxes.)
