Trivia

This card has been banned from all sanctioned Pokémon TCG tournaments using the Expanded format since October 4, 2019 in Japan and November 15, 2019 internationally as it was found to create an unbalanced playing environment. The concern was a specific combo in Japanese tournaments with the help of this card that dwindled the opponent's hand up to no cards on their first turn.

Origin

The Red Card is a held item introduced in the Generation V Pokémon games.
