Paldean Student
Rotated OutA common Trainer card that lets you dig deep into your deck for the right Pokémon.
What this card does
The card allows you to search your deck for a Pokémon without a Rule Box and add it to your hand.
You can find extra Pokémon by checking your discard pile for other Paldean Student cards.
After using this effect, you must shuffle your deck.
Paldean Student
Search your deck for a Pokémon that doesn't have a Rule Box, reveal it, and put it into your hand. For each Paldean Student card (not including this card) in your discard pile, you may search for an additional Pokémon in this way. Then, shuffle your deck. (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc. have Rule Boxes.)
This card acts like a powerful search tool. It helps you find specific basic or simple Pokémon quickly, especially if you have played other copies of it earlier in the game.
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that rely on finding key Stage 1 or Stage 2 Pokémon to evolve and attack. It works well in strategies where digging for the right card is more important than playing many cards at once.
