5/10 Just because you have to flip for results.

In my opinion this card can and does work despite flipping, however
there are better alternatives that improve deck consistency and performance.
I prefer pokegear 3.0.
5/10 due to the fact that you have a 50% chance of rolling heads,
unless you are a master at cheating when you roll dice or something.

In a deck that only runs a few supporters I would probably favour this over pokégear 3.0. I not exactly sure what the maths are when it comes to knowing how few supporters are required when it comes preferable over pokégear, but since most decks run at least 12 supporters it seems clear cut to stick with pokégear. That said this card will see more play once we see rotation.

5.5/10

I threw this card in one of my decks as a "filler", works pretty well if you draw it early, then search for collector.
Overall 6/10

That's what I'm dealing with at the moment. Undecided as to whether or not I want to play it today at Cities. I may just swap it with another Supporter yet instead.

Yesterday's CotD was Xtransceiver from NV...well it can be useful somewhat. A 50/50 chance to recover a Supporter from your discard is nice at times, but generally the most important Supporters are ran in 4s anyways, so besides your oddball "tech" ones or the odd times you just can't get to that other copy...not to mention it is flippy.

Modified - 5/10 (It's not a bad card, but the flip will deter most people from using it, as the flip itself usually demands you run multiple copies in case one fails)
Limited - 7/10 (Largely depends if you've got any Supporters obviously, but if you do, there's no reason not to use this card to at least have a chance at recovering it. Otherwise if you didn't get any Supporters, don't use it obviously)
Unlimited - 1/10 (Not use here, better options likely)
