Pokemon Communication 196/181

This is Pokemon Communication from Team Up, card number 196/181, a Trainer card with the gold Secret Rare treatment. Because the first number is higher than the set total of 181, this card falls outside the main numbered set, which is how Secret Rares are placed. The Gold tag points to the gold bordered styling used for these top tier Trainer cards in the Sun and Moon era.

Pokemon Communication is an Item card that lets players trade a Pokemon from hand for one from the deck, a staple effect that has appeared across many sets. The gold Secret Rare version gives this familiar utility card a premium finish that collectors seek out.

For anyone completing the Team Up Secret Rare run or collecting gold Trainer cards from the period, Pokemon Communication 196/181 is a clean and recognisable addition.
