Nanu from SM8b, Professor Elm’s Lecture from SM8 Revealed!

As stated in my last news story, Nanu will be the booster box promo for SM8b Dark Order. We’ve now received a description of the card from official documentation that was just sent to hobby stores in Japan. The following text is extrapolated from that description:

Nanu – Trainer
Supporter

Choose 1 of your Pokemon in play. Search your discard pile for a Basic [D] Pokemon and switch it with that Pokemon. (Any attached cards, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects remain on the new Pokemon.) Discard the first Pokemon.

You can only use 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

(It’s similar to Ninja Boy.)

We can also confirm the rumored spoiler for Professor’s Elm Lecture is real. The card text was floating around on Japanese message boards over the past week, but we didn’t have real confirmation until now. It will be the booster box promo for SM8 Explosive Impact.

Professor Elm’s Lecture – Trainer
Supporter

Search your deck for up to 3 Pokemon with 60 HP or less, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

You can only use 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

Both cards will undoubtedly have full art versions in their respective sets.

Thanks goes to Bangiras and Jake C. for the translations!
