You can use this attack only if you go second, and only during your first turn. Shuffle 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and all attached cards into their deck.
Which deck it belongs in
Works well in decks that want to control the flow of the game and disrupt opponents' strategies.
- •Disruptive setup move
- •Good early-game pressure
- •Limited late-game utility
- •Dependent on turn order
Use Illumise's attack early to set up your opponent's bench and then focus on other strategies later in the game.
Illumise uses its perfume to confuse opponents, making it a playful but strategic Pokémon.
Illumise can be a tricky card to use effectively, as it relies on going second. Consider its placement in your deck carefully.
