CARDEX BACKGROUND

The story behind this Trainer card

Custom Catcher may be played alone or as a simultaneous pair. One copy draws until you have three cards in hand. Two copies switch an opposing Benched Pokémon with the opponent's Active Pokémon, applying that effect only once for the pair. The number of cards played determines which of these two outcomes occurs.

Background on this Trainer card’s printed effect; its edition, language and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

The pair does not trigger two opposing switches or the solitary option's draw. The text assigns a specific effect to two copies played together rather than adding up their individual drawing effects.
