If your opponent guessed right, they draw 4 cards. If they guessed wrong, you draw 4 cards. Return the Pokémon to your hand.

Release information

This card was included in the Unified Minds expansion, first released as one of the Japanese SM-P Promotional cards. In Japan, it was 1 of 7 possible cards available in promotional packs awarded to participants of Pokémon Card Gym tournaments during March, April, and May 2019. This print features the Pokémon Card Gym logo.

Rulings

• Blaine's Quiz Show cannot be used with a Pokémon card that has no attacks.
• If the Pokémon card used for this effect is a TAG TEAM card, the opponent's guess is considered correct even if the Pokémon names are in the incorrect order. For example, if the face down card is Celebi & Venusaur-GX, then both Celebi & Venusaur-GX and Venusaur & Celebi-GX are correct answers.

Bans

• This card was banned from play at the 2019 Pokémon World Championships due to the confusion it may cause at multilingual tournaments.
• This card is banned from the Expanded (Beta) format in Pokémon Trading Card Game Live. As the card had already been rotated from the Standard format at the time of the game's release, its effect may have been deemed too niche to implement.

Trivia

• This card has a similar effect to Blaine's Quiz #3 from the Gym Challenge expansion.

Origin

Blaine is a Gym Leader in Kanto. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the Cinnabar Gym, featured in the illustration, is outfitted to resemble a gameshow studio where the player is presented with 5 questions.
