He plays using the Wonders of Science Deck (Japanese: かがくのちからだデッキ Power of Science Deck) and gives away the Science Medal to challengers who defeat him.

His club is a laboratory where he works on strange experiments.

Dark Science Deck

Main article: Dark Science Deck (TCG)

Dark Science Deck (Japanese: ダークサイエンスデッキ) is the only deck played by Rick. He will battle a 6 prize card battle when challenged. Defeating Rick gets the player two Island of Fossil booster packs. After freeing Mitch from the GR Fighting Fort, Rick gets his hands on some Sky Flying Pokémon booster packs and will give out one of each type of pack for a victory over him.

Rick is captured as part of the game's initial events and can be found on GR Island in the first room of the GR Grass Fort. Once freed, he gives the player a Hungry Snorlax promo card and returns to his club. From here on, he can be battled anytime.
