Character info
The character
Grimsley is a member of the Unova Elite Four known for his dark-type Pokémon team and his background as a gambler. He appears across the Pokémon video games and anime as a cool, calculating trainer with a love of games of chance. In the games he is notable for a battle style that rewards risk-taking and for his design with a long dark coat and flowing hair.
This card
This is card 120 out of the 94-card base set of Phantasmal Flames, numbered above the main set as a Full Art Supporter in Ultra Rare holofoil treatment. The artwork by GIDORA depicts Grimsley in a dramatic pose against a stormy, dark-branched background, adjusting his collar with a confident expression. The card uses the Trainer-Supporter frame typical of special illustration or secret rare prints in this set.
How it plays
Grimsley's Move is a Supporter trainer card. Its printed effect instructs the player to look at the top 7 cards of their deck and put a Darkness-type Pokémon found there onto their Bench, then shuffle the remaining cards and place them on the bottom of the deck. The card cannot be used during the player's first turn, and as a Supporter it is limited to one play per turn under the standard rule printed on the card.
