Acro Bike

What it does

Acro Bike lets a player dig for a single useful card by looking at the top 2 cards of the deck, keeping one and discarding the other. Its wording has remained identical since its debut, with no rules changes across any of its six printings.

Printing history

Acro Bike first appeared in Primal Clash in 2015 with art by Toyste Beach, who also drew new artwork for its Celestial Storm printings. It was bundled into the XY trainer Kit Latias and Latios products later that year, appearing across both Half Decks of that starter product, and returned in the Sun and Moon era's Celestial Storm as both a Regular card and a Secret Rare. In Japan the card was also handed out in a twelve-card pack to Pokémon Card Gym tournament players from February through April 2015, and later appeared in the M Rayquaza-EX Mega Battle Deck. The Celestial Storm Regular print was reprinted in Japan's Misty of Cerulean City Gym Trainer Battle Deck, TAG TEAM GX Deck Build Box and Sword & Shield Premium Trainer Box, and a Yellow A Alternate print by Toyste Beach went out through the Pokémon League in November 2019.

Origin
