     With Flail, you mean? Was that an effective strategy back in the day?
     Because I know a similar strategy exists with Memory Capsule on Gyarados VMAX nowadays!

       With this trainer, Base Set Gyarados could access Flail and potentially do 90 damage for only {W}!! Whoa.

     The fact that it’s a slowpoke makes it even scarier.

       *slowbro (you can see the shell in the back)

       Slowpoke wouldn’t have any use for recall

   The original name of this card is 思い出させる [𝐎𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐮] – “Recall” isn’t unfair, but 思い出させる has a connotation of being reminded of something by someone else. It can be considered as distinct from the attack an attack shows up years later down the line – おもいだす[𝐎𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐮] – which also got translated as “Recall” (as on GEN Charizard RC5 and CEC Empoleon).

     I didn’t finish my thought here, whoops. おもいだす[𝐎𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐮] doesn’t have any sense of being externally prompted to recall/remember/be reminded of something, so it fits as the name of an attack a Pokémon could use of its own volition, and 思い出させる [𝐎𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐮], complete with a very Rocket’s Secret Machine-y looking device¹, fits as the name of this Trainer card.

     ¹ Still surprised it isn’t one.
