SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

You may play this card during your very first turn if you went first.

Look at the top of your deck and pick up to three Basic Team Rocket's Pokemon cards.

Put those cards into your hand and shuffle the rest of your deck back in.

What it does

Team Rocket's Proton

If you go first, you may use this card during your first turn. Search your deck for up to 3 Basic Team Rocket's Pokémon, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

This card acts like a targeted search tool for your opening hand. It helps you find exactly the Pokemon you need right at the start of the game instead of hoping to draw them naturally.

Which deck it belongs in

It fits best in decks built around Team Rocket's Pokemon cards. These decks usually want to play those specific cards early to get their attacks going quickly.
