What this card does

The THROW ability lets you discard a card to flip a coin. If it lands on heads, you place two damage counters on an opponent's bench Pokémon.

The Hidden Power attack reveals the opponent's hand. You choose one card for them to shuffle back into their deck. Then they do the same with your hand.

Signature ability

THROW

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Unown T is your Active Pokémon, you may discard a card from your hand. Then, flip a coin. If heads, put 2 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This power can't be used if Unown T is affected by a Special Condition.

This card forces a random exchange of resources between players. It disrupts the opponent's strategy by hiding cards in the deck while potentially dealing unexpected damage.

Attacks

C
Hidden Power

Look at your opponent's hand and choose 1 card, then have your opponent shuffle that card into his or her deck. Then, show your opponent your hand and he or she chooses 1 card. Shuffle that card into your deck.
