Item Finder [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Item Finder is one of the original Base Set Trainer cards, and its effect let players trade two cards in hand to recover a Trainer from the discard pile—exactly the kind of recursion that made early Trainer-heavy decks feel explosive.
Set Lore
Because this is the 1st Edition printing from English Base Set, it comes from the earliest wave of Pokémon cards released in the West, a print run that Wizards of the Coast used only for the set’s initial release.
Set Lore
In English Base Set, Item Finder appears as card 74/102 among the Rare Trainers, placing it in the same foundational expansion that introduced the original 102-card checklist collectors still treat as the hobby’s cornerstone.
In-Game
Item Finder’s Japanese identity is Dowsing Machine, linking the card to the classic item-finding tool from the video games and giving this otherwise abstract Trainer card a direct connection to main-series Pokémon mechanics.
Artist
The card’s illustration is credited to Keiji Kinebuchi, one of the artists whose work helped define the clean, utility-focused visual language of early Pokémon Trainer cards.
