Roseanne

Roseanne on cards: Roseanne's Research to Roseanne's Backup

Roseanne's first card, Roseanne's Research, is a Supporter that searches the deck for up to two cards in any mix of Basic Pokémon and basic Energy, shows them to the opponent and puts them into the hand. It appeared as an Uncommon in Secret Wonders (November 1, 2007), numbered 125, and was reprinted the following year in POP Series 8 (September 1, 2008) as #11, both printings illustrated by Kanako Eo.

More than fourteen years later she returned with a new Supporter, Roseanne's Backup, in Brilliant Stars (February 25, 2022). It lets you choose one or more of four effects, each shuffling a card from the discard pile back into the deck: a Pokémon, a Pokémon Tool, a Stadium or an Energy card. Brilliant Stars printed it three times: an Uncommon (#148) illustrated by Nagomi Nijo, a full-art Ultra Rare (#172) and a Secret Rare (#180), the last two both illustrated by kirisAki.

How collectors approach Roseanne's cards

Roseanne's cards split between two Supporters printed more than fourteen years apart. Roseanne's Research is the card that named her, in its Secret Wonders original or the POP Series 8 reprint. Roseanne's Backup offers the modern treatments: kirisAki's full art at #172 and the Secret Rare at #180, numbered above the set's 172-card total. No Pokémon card carries her name.
