Trivia

This card later received an erratum to change the Evolutionary Gas Poké-POWER by adding the text "(If the Defending Pokémon is no longer your opponent's Active Pokémon, this effect ends.)" to the end. Previously, the card had been interpreted as the effect lingering while on the Bench.

Origin

Plunder is an attack that first appeared on Houndour from Neo Discovery.
