#17 Pokémon Catcher - Pikachu ex & Pawmot Starter Set ex (svc)

Pokémon Catcher is an Item-type card from the Pikachu ex & Pawmot Starter Set ex, released on March 24, 2023. It is numbered 17 in the set and illustrated by Studio Bora Inc. The card’s flavor text describes a mechanism involving a coin flip, where heads trigger an action that swaps one of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon. It does not include any listed attacks or hit points, reflecting its role as an Item rather than a standard Pokémon. The card’s design and functionality are tied to its unique interaction mechanics, emphasizing strategic gameplay through conditional effects. Its inclusion in the starter set suggests it serves as an introductory card for players familiarizing themselves with the game’s rules. The absence of rarity information leaves its collectibility status unspecified, but its thematic connection to Pokémon switching mechanics aligns with broader game strategies. This card exemplifies how Item cards can introduce dynamic, rule-based interactions beyond traditional battling.
