Surprise! Time Machine
Rotated OutThis Trainer card lets you swap an evolved Pokemon for a different one in the same evolutionary line.
What this card does
Choose one of your Evolved Pokemon and remove its highest Stage Evolution card to shuffle it back into your deck.
Search your deck for a new Evolution card that fits that Pokemon and attach it to the same spot.
Surprise! Time Machine
Choose 1 of your Evolved Pokémon, remove the highest Stage Evolution card from it, and shuffle it into your deck (this counts as devolving that Pokémon). If that Pokémon remains in play, search your deck for an Evolution card that evolves from that Pokémon and put it onto that Pokémon (this counts as evolving that Pokémon). Shuffle your deck afterward.
The card acts like a reset button for your Pokemon's evolution path. You take away the current stage and replace it with another valid evolution from your deck.
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that rely on specific evolution chains or need to change tactics mid-game.
- •Flexibility
- •Resource recovery
- •Strategic switching
- •Deck shuffling
- •Specific evolution needs
Ensure the new Evolution card is still valid for that specific Pokemon base.
A time machine would be handy for seeing how Pokemon have changed over the years.
Your child will use this to switch their Pokemon's form without losing the card entirely.
