Lt. Surge's Secret Plan [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Lt. Surge's Secret Plan is one of the strangest Trainer concepts of the WotC era, because its effect lets you hide any card on your Bench as a face-down Basic Pokémon until game actions force it to be revealed.
Card History
Collectors remember this card for its reputation as a brilliant-but-broken gimmick, since Bulbapedia notes that rulings eventually made its intended strategy nearly unplayable.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives it that unmistakable early-era house style collectors instantly associate with the franchise's roots.
Set Lore
As part of Gym Challenge, this card comes from the landmark set that spotlighted Kanto Gym Leaders and arrived in English on October 16, 2000, deepening the personality-driven 'owner's Pokémon' era that Gym Heroes began.
Card History
The card's sneaky, high-risk flavor fits Lt. Surge perfectly, since his anime debut in "Electric Shock Showdown" portrayed him as an intimidating Vermilion Gym Leader who overwhelmed Ash early with his brutal Raichu before Pikachu's comeback.
