CARDEX BACKGROUND
The story behind this Trainer card
This version of Poké Ball makes searching for a Pokémon depend on a coin flip. On a favorable result, the player searches their deck for a Pokémon, reveals it, and puts it into their hand before shuffling the deck. An unfavorable result leaves the search unsuccessful. The card thus evokes capture through uncertainty rather than guaranteeing a partner. It does not put the Pokémon directly onto the Bench.
Background on this Trainer card’s printed effect; its edition, language and finish remain distinct.A detail worth noticing
The coin decides whether the search can begin, not which Pokémon is chosen from the deck. On success, the effect allows a Pokémon without specifying its Evolution stage. The stated destination is the hand; the Bench is not mentioned in this text.
