What this card does

Look through your deck for a Team Aqua Pokemon and a Water Energy card.

Put both cards into your hand and shuffle the rest of the deck.

What it does

Team Aqua's Great Ball

Search your deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a basic {W} Energy card, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

This card acts as a safety net when you start with a poor hand. It ensures you have both a Pokemon to play and the energy needed to use its attacks on turn one.

Which deck it belongs in

It fits best in decks built around Team Aqua Pokemon that need Water Energy to function. It helps those decks start consistently without relying on luck.

Strengths
  • Consistent starts
  • Resource recovery
  • Deck consistency
Watch out for
  • Only finds one of each
  • Requires shuffling
  • Basic cards only
Pro tip

Use this card early in the game to secure your first turn rather than saving it for later.

Good to know

Great Balls are high quality Poke Balls that catch Pokemon with a higher success rate than standard balls.
