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 specific combos with the help of this card that disrupted the opponent's hand (especially on the first turns), promoting a more enjoyable environment and changing the format's reputation.
