- Main article: List of glitches in spin-off games#Pokémon Trader: Trading a Pokémon card with itself
Due to an oversight in Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!, this card can be used to move a Pokémon card from the hand to the deck and then the same Pokémon card back to the hand. This contradicts the card text, which mentions trading a card for another and showing both to the opponent.
Trivia
Origin
The Pokémon games feature characters who will trade one of their Pokémon to the player in exchange for another. In Pokémon Red and Blue and their remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, one of the first of these trades is for a Farfetch'd, as featured in the illustration.
