Trivia

  • This card's effect is similar to that of N, first released in the Noble Victories expansion. The only difference is that N shuffles both players' hands into their respective decks, while Iono puts both players' hands on the bottom of their decks.
  • This card appears in a key role in the third episode of Pokémon: Path to the Peak as part of Edgar Troy's strategy.

Origin

Iono is the Gym Leader of the Levincia Gym in Paldea. The Levincia Gym's battle court is featured in the Regular print's illustration.
