Pokémon Flute
Put a Basic Pokémon from your opponent's discard pile onto their Bench.
This card allows you to retrieve a discarded Basic Pokemon and put it back into the game on the opponent's Bench. It matters because it can disrupt your child's strategy by bringing back a strong or useful Pokemon they thought was out of play.
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that rely on forcing opponents to discard their own Pokemon, such as those using the 'Discard' mechanic. It is also useful in control decks that want to stall the game by returning powerful threats.
