What it does
When you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench during your turn, you may have each player shuffle their hand into their deck and draw 4 cards.
This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance.
Able to conceal itself in shadows, it never appears before humans, so its very existence was the stuff of myth.

It was designed to highlight the unique psychic typing of Marshadow, utilizing the standard layout conventions of the late 2010s era of cards.
The artwork for this promo reflects the typical aesthetic of the Sun & Moon era, focusing on vibrant colors and dynamic posing to emphasize the character's shadowy nature. As a promotional release, it was designed to be accessible to fans while providing a tangible collectible item for players engaging with the expanded Pokémon TCG ecosystem. It was generally well-received by collectors who prioritized completing promo sets and those who specifically collected Marshadow cards for their thematic design.
