What this card does

The card has 70 hit points and costs one Psychic energy to play its attack.

Stellar Reign deals 10 damage and forces the opponent's Active Pokemon to devolve if it is already evolved.

Signature attack

Stellar Reign

If your opponent’s Active Pokémon is an evolved Pokémon, devolve it by putting all of the Evolution cards on it into your opponent’s hand. (10 damage)

This ability lets you send an evolved Pokemon back to its previous stage. This removes any bonuses or attacks that come with being evolved, which can be very disruptive for your child's opponent.

Which deck it belongs in

Wait until your opponent has played an evolved Pokemon before using this card to maximise its impact.

From the Pokédex

Jirachi is known as the Wish Maker and is said to grant wishes when it awakens once every thousand years.

Note for the parent

Remember that this card only works if the opponent has an Active Pokemon that is already evolved, so it may not be useful in every turn.
