Pokémon Research Lab
Rotated OutA Stadium card that helps you search for specific evolved Pokemon.

Once per turn, a player can look at their deck to find up to two Pokemon that evolve from Unidentified Fossil.
These Pokemon are moved to the Bench.
Pokémon Research Lab
Once during each player’s turn, that player may search their deck for up to 2 Pokémon that evolve from Unidentified Fossil, put those Pokémon onto their Bench, and shuffle their deck. If a player searches their deck in this way, their turn ends.
This card acts as a bridge for decks built around the Unidentified Fossil line. It allows you to bypass normal evolution requirements by fetching two specific Pokemon directly from your deck, though it costs you the rest of your turn.
Which deck it belongs in
It is designed for control or ramp strategies that rely on the Unidentified Fossil line. It fits best in decks where finding those specific cards early is critical to winning.

Use this card when you need to get your main attackers onto the Bench quickly, even if it means skipping an attack phase.
In the games, Pokemon Research Labs are places where scientists study Pokemon and their biology.
Remind your child that using this card stops their turn, so they cannot attack or play more cards after searching.
