Iono is a streamer, online video creator and an influencer from the [[Paldea]] region, a {{wp|livestreaming|livestream}} called "Iono Zone" (Japanese: '''ドンナモンジャＴＶ''' ''Donnamonja TV'').<ref name=IonoZone>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9HAaHc3wnc Guess Iono’s Partner Pokémon! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> She is known to stream her work as a Gym Leader, and prioritizes viewer numbers and engagement on her channel;<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/iono/ Iono — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> as such, she never misses the chance to have a collaboration with another popular figure, with characters in the game mentioning she's done so with [[Tulip]] on one occasion,<ref name=SVGameScript>[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Abcboy#Text_dumps]</ref> who is often eager to collaborate with her, although it appears to cause the other some issues with her self-esteem.<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDTulip>''"Nono, darling! Why haven’t I gotten an invite to collab on your stream lately?" - Tulip <br> "Gweh! W-well, to be super honest... If people see you and me together...they’ll start noticin’ all the ways you’re...better than me..." - Iono''</ref> In [[The Indigo Disk]], she asks [[Brassius]] to appear a as a guest on her stream, though to her dismay, he rejects her.<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDBrassius>''"Awww, c’monnn! Throw the Iono Zone a bone! We Gym Leaders should all be friendos anyway!" - Iono <br> "I have absolutely no interest in getting any closer to you." - Brassius''</ref> However, her popularity is so massive to the point she has trouble casually going on picnics with her Pokémon due to all the attention she attracts,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy6d1-7Zyw0 【公式】ジムリーダー・ナンジャモの相棒は何者なんじゃ!?【ドンナモンジャTV】 (Japanese)</ref> though she later reveals to [[Larry]] that she enjoys the recognition.<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDLarry>''"If people knew my face, I’d run the risk of drawing crowds. That’d make it hard to get into restaurants—or worse, I could get banned for causing a disturbance in one." - Larry <br> "Hwhaaa?! Hold up, back up! You DON’T want people to recognize you?" - Iono''</ref> To add to her charm, Iono also has the habit of mixing languages together and moving animatedly, which both she and her fans refer to as "Iono-ese". Her popularity has reached a variety of games' main characters,<ref name=SVGameScript/> as in one of [[Salvatore]]'s language classes, he even references her as a popular streamer who "smashes several languages together." [[Grusha]] used to be a fan of hers, even before she used to do her typical greeting, though he claims to like her older content better, due to her tendency to focus on clicks and sponsorships, much to Iono's chagrin. She no longer reads the comments under her streams because of "THOSE fans".<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDGrusha>''"Say whaaat?! Grusha, you know ’bout my streams?!" - Iono <br> "I used to watch them before competitions and stuff, yeah. Cheered me up a lot. I’ve known about you since before you started doing that weird greeting thing. Nowadays it feels like it’s all about gettin’ the most clicks—all the sponsorships and everything. Pretty uncool, if you ask me." - Grusha''</ref> Salvatore, on the other hand, appears to have a better relationship with her upon their initial meeting, referring to her as "Mademoiselle Magnemite"<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDSalvatore>''"Bonjour, mademoiselle Magnemite! How are you doing this lovely day?!" - Salvatore <br> "A friendo from another continento! ’Ello, ’ello, hola, ciao and bonjour! I’m from the Iono Zone!" - Iono <br> "Waouh! It’s you! The one who says ce méli-mélo de mots—the famed user of this mishmash!" - Salvatore''</ref>

The game states that her viewers' reactions are more important to Iono than victory in battle, though she does feel some genuine regret for what she feels was going too far to create content as shown when talking to [[Clavell]] at the [[League Club]]. She perks up when he reveals he actually quite liked the name "Mr. Walksabout."<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDClavell>''"Well, I actually thought the name “Walksabout” was rather charming and whimsical. I cannot deny it was an excellent moniker. You clearly have an aptitude for naming things." - Clavell <br> "P-please! Stop taking this so well! I’m gonna faint from sheer embarrassment!" - Iono''</ref> Although she appears to be clueless as to why, Iono's viewers tend to soar higher whenever she loses in a battle, as stated by her on the condition that the player loses in their rematch at Blueberry Academy.<ref name=SVTIDRematchLoss>''"Nyahaha! Who won this time? I know, Iono! But my viewer numbers zoomed up way less than usual! Whyfore?!" - Iono''</ref>


According to one of her fans that appears during her Gym Challenge, they refer to themselves as part of the "Iono Hype Squad", often referring to her as "Miss Iono",<ref name=SVGameScript/> with Tulip in particular referring to her as simply "Nono".<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDTulip></ref> Iono herself calls her fans "Iono Zoners", and in some cases, simply "chat".<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDMagnemite>''"Chat went nutso for my Terarium tour! ’Specially when my li’l Magnemite hair-pair went on a bzzt-bzzt-smash rampage in Chargestone Cavern!" - Iono''</ref> <ref name=SVGameScriptTIDIonoZoners>''"You’re a young, fresh-faced Champion! Any channel you collabed with would rake in the views...but you stayed a loyal Iono Zoner!" - Iono''</ref> Iono is also aware that most of her more loyal fans are still in school, with many already attending Blueberry Academy prior to her arrival,<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDFanDemographic>''"A lot of my loyal fans are still in school, so lotsa Blueberry peeps know about Iono! Guess the Supercharged Streamer has the right voltage no matter where she goes!" - Iono''</ref> including Ray the [[Student]] in [[Drayton]]'s [[Elite Trial]].<ref name=SVTIDRayTheStudent>''"Y’know Iono? The streamer? I use the same type as her, so like, ready for a shock?"''</ref> A trainer in the [[Terarium]] also remarks that they've sworn they've seen the player on the Iono Zone before, referring to the player's battles with her in Paldea.<ref name=SVTIDTerariumTrainer>''"Aren’t you that kid who was on the Iono Zone?! Whosawhatsit?! Iunno! I swear, there was a kid who looked just like you on the Iono Zone. The viewer count for that stream was totally insane!"''</ref>

Iono can appear in the [[Blueberry Academy]] [[League Club]] as a special coach, and speaks with the player, Brassius, Larry, Tulip, Grusha, Clavell, and Salvatore. In her conversations with the player, she reveals that she's taking this opportunity at the Academy for her next stream, coming up with the title ''“Gym Leader Iono INFILTRATES this WEIRD ACADEMY! You won’t BELIEVE what she finds!”''<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDIonoClickbait>''"Lemme hit you with the eyeball-snatching title I brainstormed for my next stream... “Gym Leader Iono INFILTRATES this WEIRD ACADEMY! You won’t BELIEVE what she finds!”" - Iono''</ref> She then asks the player what her focus should be on, and if the player suggests [[Cyrano|the director,]] she describes how risky it could be to bring on a "snoozer guest", and how it'd be a "Top 10 Iono Betrayals moment..."<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDCyranoRoast>"''The...director? Like, the boss-man guy? You sure? Sounds kinda bori— uh, risky! If I bring on a snoozer guest, that’d be a real Top 10 Iono Betrayals moment..." - Iono''</ref> If suggested in their initial meeting, Iono will report back on her second visit to the League Club that Cyrano's appearance made her viewer count rise dramatically due to his natural charisma.<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDCyranoRedemption>''"The moment Mister Director-guy came on stream, my viewer count went WHOOSH! To the moon!!! Where’d that guy even come from?! No way was that his first time on a stream! He was so magnetic he even stole MY thunder! Who gets more eyeballs than me?! I ’unno!" - Iono''</ref>
In addition to the Gym Badge, Iono gives out {{TM|048|Volt Switch}} after defeating her.  


In addition to the Gym Badge, Iono gives out {{TM|048|Volt Switch}} after defeating her. After beating her in a rematch at the [[League Club]], she will give the player the [[List of clothing (Scarlet and Violet)#Rotom Phone|Iono Zone Case]] as a gift, which she describes as an ''"SSS-tier drop!"''<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDPhoneCase>''"...Meh! Viewer numbers are viewer numbers! As thanks, here’s an SSS-tier drop! Some mega-exclusive Iono merch!" - Iono''</ref>

[[File:Iono concept art.jpg|thumb|right|Iono's Scarlet & Violet [[Appendix:Glossary (Production)|settei]]]]
Whilst her age is unknown, characters in Levincia state that Iono has been a streamer for quite a few years, wondering how old she really is.<ref name=SVGameScript/> She appears to be an adult herself when referring to others as being "still in school."<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDFanDemographic></ref> Regardless, Iono appears to be a small, thin woman with long arms and legs. Her teal and pink hair reaches down below her knees, with two wide ponytails of contrasting colors that follow behind her. At the end of each ponytail, there are "bulbs" with alternating pink and teal surfaces. The rest of her hair is fairly short on top, with a short pink bang protruding from a some hair above her forehead in the appearance of a ribbon. It's unknown whether this ribbon shape is an accessory or is actually a styled part of her hair. Iono's eyes are a gradient of various colors, such as purple, pink, and a light yellow, with her eyelashes having a black appearance until their very ends, where they look like segmented purple triangles that are disconnected from the actual lash itself. In 2D adaptations of her design, such as her official artwork and anime appearances, the purple segments of her eyelashes appear behind her hair regardless of the perspective, but in both her debut reveal stream as well as Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, this is not the case. Alongside her short, thin eyebrows, it may suggest that Iono's hair color is naturally black. Her teeth are notably different from that of other characters, with each tooth sporting a jagged shark-like appearance. It's possible that this is a reference to the design of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gawr_Gura popular virtual YouTuber characters] in the real world.

She primarily wears an oversized yellow and black jacket featuring her logo on the front, with thin straps at the end of each sleeve that feature Poké Balls on their ends. The sheer size of this jacket is enough to cradle her phone, as seen in her concept art. Underneath the jacket, she wears a silver bodysuit that hooks around her neck at the top with a screw-like object, covering her back and chest, with a black textured outfit underneath that reaches down to her thighs. The screw-like object seen near her neck is also embedded onto the outside each of Iono's shoes, which feature a notable high heel and are a similar silvery color to her bodysuit, with the base of each shoe being a yellow color. Between her shoes, bodysuit, and what appears to be a thigh-high sock covering all of her right leg, they all feature a repeating hexagonal pattern. Her left thigh has a black strap wrapped around it, featuring some unknown gray text.

Her left thigh has a black strap wrapped around it, featuring some unknown gray text.


Iono is also accessorized with two hair clips that look like {{p|Magnemite}}. Although they initially appear to not actually be Pokémon, they can be animated independently at will, presumably by Iono herself. Her concept art in both the games and anime show that these Magnemite-inspired hair clips are able to react mimic her reactions, such as when Iono is in a state of shock or anger. As seen in her reveal trailer, the hair clips can emote with a variety of different expressions shown on their eyes, in a way identical to an actual Magnemite. Despite all of this, Iono never uses any Pokémon from the Magnemite family on her team, although she can trade one to the player in [[The Indigo Disk]]. Talking to her in the [[League Club]] about the [[Terarium]] confirms that these Magnemite clips are in-fact Pokémon of some sort with their own free will, as they went on what Iono describes as a "bzzt-bzzt-smash rampage" in [[Chargestone Cavern]].<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDMagnemite></ref>

As part of her personality, Iono moves animatedly in a variety of ways. During her streams, she will often shake in place with clenched teeth, when in an awkward or otherwise tense situation. During a battle, she steps up and down in place, an action that is also noted on her concept art. Due to her oversized jacket, Iono's hands are rarely seen, leading to actions such as waving or even holding a Poké Ball being done under the coat. The '''dainty''' [[Battle style (game mechanic)#Throwing styles|throwing style]] that the player can obtain at the [[League Club]] is identical to the one used by Iono in battle, and is shared with [[Poppy]].

===Pokémon Horizons: The Series===
[[File:Iono anime.png|thumb|250px|Iono in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'']]
Iono first appeared in [[HZ015]], where she was is revealed to be friends with [[Dot]]. Iono was contacted by Dot to help her find [[Liko]], who was missing. Taking the opportunity, Iono asked Dot if she wanted to do a collaboration in her live show as Nidothing to better spread the word. With the help of Iono, Dot was able to locate Liko in [[Levincia]]. Iono then turned the search into a game of tag and later congratulated [[Roy]] for finding Liko and thanked Liko for her help in making her stream a hit.
 
====Design====
[[File:Iono anime expression sheet.png|thumb|right|250px|Iono's ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|Horizons]]'' [[Appendix:Glossary (Production)#Settei|settei]]]]
 
Iono was adapted for the anime by the series' character designers. As can be seen in her [[Appendix:Glossary (Production)#Settei|settei]], Iono's {{p|Magnemite}} hair clips can move independently, especially when jumping upwards in a state of surprise. This is similar to the games, so much so that the concept art for her appearance in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] also makes note of this. Despite this, her design is simpler for animation, as she lacks the hexagonal pattern that travels up her clothing and boots.
 
Her [[HZ015|debut episode]] was animation directed by [[Masaaki Iwane]], who solo-animates animates almost all of the episodes he participates on.<ref name=IwaneSolo></ref> As a result, Iono's first appearance was entirely animated in his style, where he uses a variety of animation techniques idiosyncratic to him. Her personality is made clear by Iwane's strong understanding of animation timing, allowing him to hold her on dynamic poses with very little in-betweens, which then snap together to create a wealth of exaggerated movements, such as when she's addressing her fans after Liko has been found. To further emphasize this, he often animates her more drawn-out movements on every single frame, which makes her movements appear even more erratic when snapping back to more limited animation, all in a very short timespan.
 
In both Iono's reveal trailer and game debut in [[Generation IX]], she often tends to step in place, something that is absent from her movement in the anime.

Iono's role is expanded in ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'', which is dedicated to her showcase of many figures within the Paldea region, including herself.

==In the manga==
[[File:Iono Teaser.png|thumb|250px|Iono's initial teaser image]]
[[File:Iono Lets Play.png|thumb|left|150px|Monjana in Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!]]
Iono was initially revealed to the public on October 12th, 2022, in a video uploaded to all official Pokémon YouTube channels titled '''Guess Iono’s Partner Pokémon!
===Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!===
Monjana, (a [[Cross-canon counterpart]] of Iono) appeared in the Scarlet & Violet arc of [[Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game! Scarlet & Violet Arc|Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!]], where she battles against the protagonists. Her deck is themed around [[Electric|Electric-type]] Pokémon, such as {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pawmi}}, and often mentions how lucky she is at the game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2daSvA7MizU</ref> Monjana's personality appears to be similar to that of Iono's in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], as she maintains a thoroughly smug attitude throughout both of her battles, though her design is radically different. The {{p|Magnemite}}-shaped hairclips have been replaced with [[Master Ball|Master Balls]], and her hair now curves below her face in the shape of lightning bolts. Additionally, she now has an actual ribbon in her hair, as opposed to having her hair styled like a ribbon above her fringe.
[[File:Pokémon Card Game Scarlet and Violet Let's Play Iono Jacket.png|thumb|right|150px|Monjana's Bellibolt jacket after losing]]
Her design is far simpler in this manga; her sharp teeth have been removed in favor of a single fang, with further simplifications made to her boots and singular thigh high, the latter of which was removed. Her jacket now resembles a {{p|Bellibolt}} in spite of it not making an appearance in Monjana's deck during the chapter she is in, but its expression on the jacket shifts depending on Monjana's own personality for comedic effect.
 
==In the TCG==
[[File:IonoPaldeaEvolved269.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Iono]]
{{main|Iono (Paldea Evolved 185)}}
'''Iono''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Clay Burst}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} expansion, with artwork by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same artist, and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[kirisAki]] were released in the same sets. It forces both players to shuffle their hands and put it on the bottom of their decks, before drawing cards for each of their remaining Prize cards.

Overview

Character

Reason: What does Iono say in her dialogue in The Indigo Disk?
Iono in the "Iono Zone"

Iono is a streamer, online video creator and an influencer from the Paldea region, a livestream called "Iono Zone" (Japanese: ドンナモンジャＴＶ Donnamonja TV).[2] She is known to stream her work as a Gym Leader, and prioritizes viewer numbers and engagement on her channel;[3] as such, she never misses the chance to have a collaboration with another popular figure, with characters in the game mentioning she's done so with Tulip on one occasion.[4] However, her popularity is so massive to the point she has trouble casually going on picnics with her Pokémon due to all the attention she attracts.[5] To add to her charm, Iono also has the habit of mixing languages together and moving animatedly, which both she and her fans refer to as "Iono-ese".[4] In one of Salvatore's language classes, he even references her as a popular streamer who "smashes several languages together." The game states that her viewers' reactions are more important to Iono than victory in battle.

According to one of her fans that appears during her Gym Challenge, they refer to themselves as part of the "Iono Hype Squad", often referring to her as "Miss Iono".[4]

In addition to the Gym Badge, Iono gives out TM048 (Volt Switch) after defeating her.

Iono can appear in the Blueberry Academy League Club as a special coach, and speaks with the player, Brassius, Larry, Tulip, Grusha, Clavell, and Salvatore. After beating her in a rematch, she will give the player the Iono Zone Case as a gift.

Appearance

Iono's Scarlet & Violet settei

Whilst her age is unknown, characters in Levincia state that Iono has been a streamer for quite a few years, wondering how old she really is.[4] Regardless, Iono appears to be a small, thin woman with long arms and legs. Her teal and pink hair reaches down below her knees, with two wide ponytails of contrasting colors that follow behind her. At the end of each ponytail, there are "bulbs" with alternating pink and teal surfaces. The rest of her hair is fairly short on top, with a short pink bang protruding from a some hair above her forehead in the appearance of a ribbon. It's unknown whether this ribbon shape is an accessory or is actually a styled part of her hair. Iono's eyes are a gradient of various colors, such as purple, pink, and a light yellow, with her eyelashes having a black appearance until their very ends, where they look like segmented purple triangles that are disconnected from the actual lash itself. In 2D adaptations of her design, such as her official artwork and anime appearances, the purple segments of her eyelashes appear behind her hair regardless of the perspective, but in both her debut reveal stream as well as Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, this is not the case. Alongside her short, thin eyebrows, it may suggest that Iono's hair color is naturally black. Her teeth are notably different from that of other characters, with each tooth sporting a jagged shark-like appearance. It's possible that this is a reference to the design of popular virtual YouTuber characters in the real world.

She primarily wears an oversized yellow and black jacket featuring her logo on the front, with thin straps at the end of each sleeve that feature Poké Balls on their ends. The sheer size of this jacket is enough to cradle her phone, as seen in her concept art. Underneath the jacket, she wears a silver bodysuit that hooks around her neck at the top with a screw-like object, covering her back and chest, with a black textured outfit underneath that reaches down to her thighs. The screw-like object seen near her neck is also embedded onto the outside each of Iono's shoes, which feature a notable high heel and are a similar silvery color to her bodysuit, with the base of each shoe being a yellow color. Between her shoes, bodysuit, and what appears to be a thigh-high sock covering all of her right leg, they all feature a repeating hexagonal pattern. Her left thigh has a black strap wrapped around it, featuring some unknown gray text.

Iono is also accessorized with two hair clips that look like Magnemite. Although they are not actually Pokémon, they can be animated independently at will, presumably by Iono herself. Her concept art in both the games and anime show that these Magnemite-inspired hair clips are able to react mimic her reactions, such as when Iono is in a state of shock or anger. As seen in her reveal trailer, the hair clips can emote with a variety of different expressions shown on their eyes, in a way identical to an actual Magnemite. Despite all of this, Iono never uses any Pokémon from the Magnemite family on her team, although she can trade one to the player in The Indigo Disk.

As part of her personality, Iono moves animatedly in a variety of ways. During her streams, she will often shake in place with clenched teeth when in an awkward or otherwise tense situation. During a battle, she steps up and down in place, an action that is also noted on her concept art. Due to her oversized jacket, Iono's hands are rarely seen, leading to actions such as waving or even holding a Poké Ball being done under the coat.

Reason: Her appearance in both of her reveal trailers, Biri-Biri, as well as when her card is used in Path to the Peak, with images.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Iono in Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Iono first appeared in HZ015, where she was is revealed to be friends with Dot. Iono was contacted by Dot to help her find Liko, who was missing. Taking the opportunity, Iono asked Dot if she wanted to do a collaboration in her live show as Nidothing to better spread the word. With the help of Iono, Dot was able to locate Liko in Levincia. Iono then turned the search into a game of tag and later congratulated Roy for finding Liko and thanked Liko for her help in making her stream a hit.

Design

Iono's Horizons settei

Iono was adapted for the anime by the series' character designers. As can be seen in her settei, Iono's Magnemite hair clips can move independently, especially when jumping upwards in a state of surprise. This is similar to the games, so much so that the concept art for her appearance in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet also makes note of this. Despite this, her design is simpler for animation, as she lacks the hexagonal pattern that travels up her clothing and boots.

Her debut episode was animation directed by Masaaki Iwane, who solo-animates animates almost all of the episodes he participates on.[6] As a result, Iono's first appearance was entirely animated in his style, where he uses a variety of animation techniques idiosyncratic to him. Her personality is made clear by Iwane's strong understanding of animation timing, allowing him to hold her on dynamic poses with very little in-betweens, which then snap together to create a wealth of exaggerated movements, such as when she's addressing her fans after Liko has been found. To further emphasize this, he often animates her more drawn-out movements on every single frame, which makes her movements appear even more erratic when snapping back to more limited animation, all in a very short timespan.

In both Iono's reveal trailer and game debut in Generation IX, she often tends to step in place, something that is absent from her movement in the anime.

Iono's role is expanded in Breathe Together, which is dedicated to her showcase of many figures within the Paldea region, including herself.

Monjana in Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!

Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!

Monjana, (a Cross-canon counterpart of Iono) appeared in the Scarlet & Violet arc of Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!, where she battles against the protagonists. Her deck is themed around Electric-type Pokémon, such as Pikachu and Pawmi, and often mentions how lucky she is at the game.[7] Monjana's personality appears to be similar to that of Iono's in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as she maintains a thoroughly smug attitude throughout both of her battles, though her design is radically different. The Magnemite-shaped hairclips have been replaced with Master Balls, and her hair now curves below her face in the shape of lightning bolts. Additionally, she now has an actual ribbon in her hair, as opposed to having her hair styled like a ribbon above her fringe.

File:Pokémon Card Game Scarlet and Violet Let's Play Iono Jacket.png
Monjana's Bellibolt jacket after losing

Her design is far simpler in this manga; her sharp teeth have been removed in favor of a single fang, with further simplifications made to her boots and singular thigh high, the latter of which was removed. Her jacket now resembles a Bellibolt in spite of it not making an appearance in Monjana's deck during the chapter she is in, but its expression on the jacket shifts depending on Monjana's own personality for comedic effect.

Iono was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Clay Burst expansion and the English Paldea Evolved expansion, with artwork by Sanosuke Sakuma. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same artist, and a special illustration rare version of the card with artwork by kirisAki were released in the same sets. It forces both players to shuffle their hands and put it on the bottom of their decks, before drawing cards for each of their remaining Prize cards.
