"posting" to the internet is not a right... it was a priviledge. unfortunately, a few people abused that priviledge... Poison damage begins being added immediately. If you flip heads with Weedle's Poison Sting attack, then the opponent begins taking 10 damage per turn extra at the end of that same turn (before their turn even starts). You place the Pokemon you are trading back into your deck when using Pokemon Trader. After retrieving the Pokemon you want in return, thoroughly shuffle your deck. This is a very powerful card.
