Trivia

  • At the start of the XY Series, Pokémon Catcher was given errata that required a successful coin flip for the effect of the card to occur.
  • This card's Black & White Series effect matches that of Gust of Wind, a card previously released in the Base Set. The effect of the XY Series errata matches that of Pokémon Reversal.
