Rulings
- 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 ruled to create an unbalanced playing environment. The concern was to protect the opponent's hand from disruptive tactics that dwindled their hand up to no cards on the first turns.
- This card was also banned from the Gym Leader Challenge format starting June 8, 2022, due to being a part of combos commonly built into Colorless control decks, whose goal was to deplete cards from the opponent's hand and cause the opponent to then not draw useful cards. It was also recoverable with effects of cards like Bunnelby from Primal Clash, or Herdier from Sun & Moon.[1]
Trivia
