Read more ↓Pokémon Trader is not a Pokémon but a Trainer card, representing a character from the Pokémon universe. Trainer cards depict various people, items, or locations that assist Pokémon trainers in their journey. This particular card features a dapper gentleman in a fedora and suit, accompanied by a Farfetch'd, a Duck Pokémon known for its leek-wielding prowess. Farfetch'd is a Normal/Flying type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, alongside the original 151 Pokémon. It is famous for its unique behavior of always carrying a leek or stalk, which it uses as a weapon and for building its nest. The trainer character himself doesn't have specific lore beyond his role as a "trader" within the game's mechanics, symbolizing the act of exchanging Pokémon. Trainer cards are fundamental to the strategic depth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, allowing players to manipulate their deck, hand, and field to gain an advantage. They are analogous to item cards or spell cards in other trading card games, providing tactical options outside of direct Pokémon combat. The inclusion of Farfetch'd in the artwork adds a touch of the familiar Pokémon world to an otherwise abstract concept of trading.
