+{{bulbanews|Play! Pokémon announces early TCG rotation to HGSS-on}}
+Following the release of the {{TCG|Black & White}} set, which controversially changed the game's first-turn rule to permit the use of {{TCG|Item}} and {{TCG|Supporter}} cards on the first turn of the game, this card was a major contributor to an unhealthy competitive format. This is due to its Overeager Poké-BODY enabling the player to consistently steal the first turn and win the game by using a combination of powerful Item cards, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}'s Set Up, {{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}'s Flash Bite, and {{TCG ID|Triumphant|Seeker|88}} to clear the opponent's Bench and, if necessary, weaken their Active Pokémon to be Knocked Out by Sableye's Overconfident attack; this could all take place without the opponent ever getting a turn in that game. Because of this, many players threatened to not attend the 2011 National and [[2011 World Championships|World Championships]] unless [[Play! Pokémon]] would change the format to eliminate the threat of Sableye; this resulted in the first (and thus far only) pre-Worlds {{TCG|rotation}} in the game's history.
