Trivia

Origin

This card is based on the character Kurt from the Pokémon games. He makes various types of Poké Balls from Apricorns given to him by the player.

Rule Clarification in Chinese

As the word "Ball" mentioned refers to Poké Balls, this card cannot be used to search for Item cards such as Air Balloon (Traditional Chinese: 氣球; Simplified Chinese: 气球) despite having the word "Ball" (Chinese: ) in their localized names. The Pokémon Company had made a public announcement clarifying such rule in their TCG Facebook page in Taiwan[1]. When Air Balloon later released in Simplified Chinese, Pokémon Shanghai also made a similar announcement on the official TCG website[2].
