Trivia

As a result of an inconsistency in translation, the English print of this card classifies it as a Rocket's Secret Robot card; however, it was later ruled that it was a Rocket's Secret Machine card for the purposes of Rocket's Meowth's Snatch and Run attack and Rocket's Wobbuffet's Dark Aid attack, both from the EX Team Rocket Returns expansion.

Origin

In EP035, Jessie, James, and Meowth use a tickling machine in order to force Kaiser to tell them where Dratini are located within the Safari Zone. However, their machine did not resemble the one on this card.
