Tickling Machine [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Tickling Machine is one of the oddball Rocket's Secret Machine Trainer cards in Gym Heroes, and its all-or-nothing coin-flip effect feels perfectly on-brand for Team Rocket's chaotic gadgetry.
Card History
Bulbapedia links Tickling Machine to the anime's Safari Zone episode, where Jessie, James, and Meowth use a tickling machine while trying to force information out of Kaiser, giving this Trainer card a direct Team Rocket cartoon connection.
Set Lore
Gym Heroes was the first Gym-series expansion in English and introduced Owner's Pokémon tied to Kanto Gym Leaders, so an offbeat Rocket gadget like Tickling Machine stands out as one of the set's few pure Team Rocket flavor pieces.
Card History
This card has a neat rules-history quirk: despite an English translation inconsistency labeling it as a Rocket's Secret Robot, it was later ruled to count as a Rocket's Secret Machine for interactions with cards in EX Team Rocket Returns.
Artist
Its illustrator, Sumiyoshi Kizuki, is one of the distinctive early Pokémon TCG artists, and that quirky, storybook-style art helps make Tickling Machine feel like a true Wizards-era curiosity rather than just another Trainer card.
