Collector Insights

Lawrence III is a Pokémon Trading Card Game card from the Miscellaneous Promos set, released on October 15, 1996. This card features a flavor text effect that allows a player to select one of three specific Legendary Pokémon—Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres—that an opponent has in play. The effect involves discarding all cards attached to the chosen Pokémon and relocating it to the player’s Bench. Once moved, the Pokémon is treated as if it belongs to the player’s own team. The card lacks listed attacks, with its primary function centered on the strategic manipulation described in its flavor text. It is part of the Miscellaneous Promos set, which includes cards from various promotional releases. The card’s name, Lawrence III, aligns with the thematic elements of the Pokémon TCG’s promotional material from that era. Its design and purpose are rooted in the unique mechanics of the 1996 promotional cards, reflecting the game’s evolving strategies during its early years.

Choose 1 Legendary Pokémon (Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres) your opponent has in play. Discard all cards attached to that Pokémon and put it on your Bench. From now on, treat that Pokémon as if it were your own Pokémon.
