Description

Sabrina's Suggestion Secret Rare from Tag Bolt (SM9), released in December 2018. This full art Supporter card features Sabrina, the Psychic-type Gym Leader from Saffron City, in an elegant portrait-style illustration. Full art Supporter cards from the Sun & Moon era became some of the most collected cards in the modern TCG, often commanding higher prices than the Pokémon cards from the same set purely on the strength of the artwork. Sabrina is one of the most memorable Gym Leaders in the franchise. In the original games, her Saffron City Gym was notoriously difficult, filled with teleporter tile puzzles and a team anchored by her powerful Alakazam. In the anime, she was genuinely unsettling, portrayed as a cold, psychically gifted young woman who turned defeated challengers into dolls. She was one of the few Gym Leaders who felt like a genuine threat rather than just a stepping stone, and her Kadabra's battle with Ash's Haunter remains one of the most iconic early anime moments. By Generation II, Sabrina's characterisation softened considerably. In Gold and Silver, she could be found training at the Fighting Dojo, having developed an interest in Fighting types to balance her psychic abilities. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, she's portrayed as more approachable, and her rematch team is significantly stronger. The Let's Go games brought her back to her original intimidating portrayal, complete with the teleporter puzzle. This card's in-game effect lets you look at your opponent's hand and choose a Pokémon you find there, forcing them to switch their active Pokémon with it. Fitting for a psychic who can read minds.
