About the Pokémon
Computer Search is an early deck-search Trainer card. It exchanges other cards from the player's hand for access to a chosen card in the deck. Its original Base-era identity is distinct from later versions carrying updated classifications, artwork or restrictions, so the expansion matters when identifying this print.
About the Expansion
Released in Japan on 20 October 1996, Expansion Pack established the Pokémon Trading Card Game alongside its starter product. Its Kanto Pokémon, Trainer cards and Energy cards introduced the game's foundational structure. The original Japanese Pocket Monsters card back places these cards at the beginning of the TCG's collecting history.
