   First CotD on Pkmncards.com!

   Since it counts as a Trainer, I’d say that the potential to draw 2 cards is pretty decent. Multiple of these can be played in succession to lower the damage potential of Gallade SW’s Psychic Cut.

   It should have been on your own prizes cards, so you could combo it with Azelf LA :o

     You’re still favored to get it right if you guess Trainer.

       Especially against decks with 40 trainers in them :)

   Another strange variation on the refusal to just say “a Pokemon” and leave it at that. Presumably, this instance *wasn’t* intended to omit Baby Pokemon, which weren’t Basic or Evolution cards in the original Japanese prints.
   I almost feel this arcane “Basic or Evolution” business that plagued the early generations was motivated by Wizards thinking players were too dumb to know that “a Pokemon card” refers to a card featuring an actual species of Pokemon and not just any card in the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Perhaps a useful delineation if you’re playing some arcane Calvinball-esque TCG with decks made up of Pokemon cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Magic cards, and what have you all mixed together — but completely unnecessary otherwise.

   Also, hey! It’s the Game Freak logo :)

     Apparently the Japanese version parenthetically lists out Basic, Evolution, *and* Baby Pokemon, so if the avoidance of just saying Pokemon really was due to that potential “confusion”, I guess a severe underestimation of players was a global issue :v
