Trivia

Origin

A female Team Rocket Grunt is featured on the card. Scratch is a move in the Pokémon games that Sneasel can learn. Strike the Sleeper's Japanese name references the idiom 寝首をかく nekubi o kaku (lit. "to cut off the head of a sleeping person", "to assassinate someone while they sleep"), meaning "to catch someone off their guard by setting traps". This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Scarlet.
