The '''Good Rod''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} ({{TCG|Item card}} in Japan) in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English HeartGold & SoulSilver Series. It was first released in the Leafeon Deck of the {{TCG|Leafeon vs Metagross Expert Deck}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Unleashed}} expansion, with an illustration by [[Wataru Kawahara]]. Good Rod lets a player flip a coin. If heads, the player can search their discard pile for a Pokémon, and put it on top of their deck. If it's a tail, the player search for a {{TCG|Trainer card}} instead.
