Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, you can't use this attack again as long as Farfetch'd stays in play (even putting Farfetch'd on the Bench won't let you use it again).

Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2000, Base Set 2 was designed as a bridge for players and collectors who had missed the initial frenzy of the original Pokémon Trading Card Game. By combining select cards from the Base Set and the Jungle expansion, it provided a necessary reprint of popular characters, including the waterfowl Pokémon Farfetch'd, to ensure availability for a growing audience following the brand's international explosion.

The card features the original artwork by Ken Sugimori, whose distinctive, clean style defined the early visual identity of the Pokémon franchise. Farfetch'd is depicted in its classic stance wielding a leek, a design choice that underscores the creature's quirky charm. While the set received some criticism from long-time collectors for its reliance on reprints, it succeeded in its functional role of sustaining the hobby's momentum during a critical period of global expansion.
