Castaway
Trainer › Supporter

Search your deck for a Supporter card, a Pokémon Tool card, and a basic Energy card. Show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

· Supporter rule: You can play only one Supporter card each turn. When you play this card, put it next to your Active Pokémon. When your turn ends, discard this card.

    A slightly different Cyrus’ conspiracy that is typically just better than it. It keeps the ability to use energy gain, though it loses poke turn and power spray. Not huge losses in unlimited unless you’re running SP donk.

    What’s more interesting though is the fact that there are two completely different flavor interpretations for Castaway.

    From one angle, you could conclude that the castaway has to fetch the tool and the energy simply to survive, and his ability to search for himself implies that he will be repeating this process again and again until he is found by another person.

    From another angle, you could argue that he is a self made castaway, someone who cast himself away from society, perhaps because they feared him for his powers. It would certainly make sense, considering his triple search functionality.

    Lol, I remember pulling tons of these as a kid, thought it was terrible. Little did I know.

      I remember owning any T/S/S and thought it was just bad. Now I know they are better than Pokemon in some ways.

    It’s my favorite interview question!
    “You are stranded on a desert island and can only take three items with you: 1 person, 1 item, and 1 glowing ball of pure elemental energy. What would you pick?”
