Trivia

This card has been banned from all sanctioned Pokémon TCG tournaments using the Standard format since August 28, 2020 internationally; in Japan, it was banned effective September 1. The concern was specific combos with the help of this card that significantly strengthened control decks and mill decks, promoting a less enjoyable environment. In response to the ban, The Pokémon Company created a new Sabrina & Brycen card that was eventually distributed as a S-P Promo from October 10, 2020, making it and Mismagius the first cards to be replaced in such a manner.

Origin

Sabrina is a Gym Leader in Kanto, while Brycen is a Gym Leader in Unova. Bellelba & Brycen-Man are movie characters that they play at the Pokéstar Studios, which is featured in the Regular print's illustration.
