Trivia

  • All Japanese versions feature the Team Rocket expansion symbol, indicating that it is a promotional addition to the Japanese set. The prints released via CoroCoro and the Pokémon Song Best Collection have an 'R' symbol with a red drop shadow and are printed on glossy card stock, whereas the 'R' on the Kamex Mega Battle participation print has a white drop shadow and is printed on non-glossy card stock.
  • This card has essentially the same effect as Master's Scroll from the L-P Promotional cards, but with the option of drawing up to 5 cards.

Origin

This card may be a reference to the plot of Jessie, James, and Meowth in EP038, where they attempted to steal Pokémon by directly hacking into the PC system of a Pokémon Center.
