Sableye · 60 HP · {D}
Pokémon (Sableye) › Basic

Poké-BODY ⇢ Overeager
If Sableye is your Active Pokémon at the beginning of the game, you go first. (If each player’s Active Pokémon has the Overeager Poké-Body, this power does nothing.)

{@} → Impersonate
Search your deck for a Supporter card and discard it. Shuffle your deck afterward. Then, use the effect of that card as the effect of this attack.

{D} → Overconfident : 10
If the Defending Pokémon has fewer remaining HP than Sableye, this attack’s base damage is 40.

    SF was the most broken set ever.

      Aren’t there broken later sets?

    What would happen in Unlimited if I start Sableye and my opponent has First Ticket · Dragon Vault (DRV) #19?

      You’d probably still play Rock Paper Scissors. Then be weary of possible Team Galactic’s Wager · Mysterious Treasures (MT) #115 and Misty’s Duel · Gym Heroes (G1) #123.

    What happens if I impersonate a supporter with requirements I don’t fulfill? Like Cyrus Prism Star, Red’s Challenge, or Archie’s Ace in the Hole. The cards read like they have a requirement for playing them from your hand, which is separate from “the effect of the card” copied from Sableye.

      All card effects are completed on an “as much as you can fulfill” basis. The first part of the attack, “Search your deck for a Supporter card and discard it. Shuffle your deck afterward”, can ALWAYS be fulfilled, regardless of wether there are actually any supporters in your deck (unless there are 0 cards in your deck) because the contents of your deck are unknown to the game state (but the amount of cards in your deck IS known). YOU may know every card in your deck, and your OPPONENT may know every card in your deck, but the game state doesn’t EVER know what cards are or are not in your deck, since it’s a private zone. Either way, you search for the supporter first (which will always succeed unless there are no cards in deck), then discard the supporter (or fail the search) before any other effects. The next part of the attack, “Then, use the effect of that card as the effect of this attack”, may or may not actually do anything. If the supporter would fail, that portion of the attack would fail. You still discard the supporter (or fail the search), but the effect just does nothing since the supporter would have done nothing.

        TL;DR: you can always search unless you have no deck. you can discard any supporter, and it activates regardless. THEN, if the supporter wouldn’t do anything, it fails. you’ve used your attack!

    That time Sableye single-handedly caused an emergency format rotation.
