Collector Insights

Imakuni?'s Nasty Plot is a Trainer card from the Vending Machine Series 3 (Green) set, released on November 24, 1998. Designed by artist Tomoaki Imakuni, the card features a themecolor of #c4a16a. Its flavor text describes a scenario where a player might secretly remove damage counters from their opponent’s Pokémon while they are distracted, then feign ignorance about the action. The card’s narrative humorously references a fictional encounter with Imakuni?, encouraging players to mock the artist’s appearance by commenting on their thinness. As a Trainer card, it does not include attacks or HP statistics. The card’s name and theme evoke a playful, subversive strategy within the game’s context. It remains a notable entry in the series for its unique blend of gameplay mechanics and whimsical storytelling.

When you play this card, you may remove damage counters when your opponent isn't looking. And no matter what they ask, pretend you don't know about it. This is the new red and even more polished Imakuni?. If you happen to see Imakuni? in the streets, always say "You look thinner than you do on TV."
