Surprise! Time Machine [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Surprise! Time Machine is one of the set’s quirky Rocket’s Secret Machine Trainer cards, and its effect lets you de-evolve one of your own Evolved Pokémon only to swap in a different Evolution from your deck in the same play.
Set Lore
This card comes from EX Team Rocket Returns, the November 8, 2004 expansion built around Team Rocket’s comeback and the darker Kanto/Johto vibe of the Gold, Silver, and Crystal era.
Set Lore
Reverse Holo cards from EX Team Rocket Returns are especially distinctive because this expansion added the set logo to the lower-right of the artwork, a detail collectors instantly associate with the ex-era Rocket comeback.
Artist
Katsura Tabata illustrated Surprise! Time Machine, and this card sits in a small cluster of Tabata-designed Trainer cards from EX Team Rocket Returns alongside Pokémon Retriever, Pow! Hand Extension, Swoop! Teleporter, and Venture Bomb.
Cultural Impact
The set’s English marketing literally billed EX Team Rocket Returns as 'Back with a Vengeance!,’ which gives even an uncommon Rocket gadget like Surprise! Time Machine the feel of a villain-tech relic from one of the franchise’s most nostalgic bad-guy sets.
