I know it is not easy to get your hand down to one card, but it's not so uncommon when I use a Night March deck, for example. If it's true, indeed looks kind of broken, because it's not THAT hard to get it done.
Just noticed a thing and came here to ask about it.
It's about the Maxie and Archie cards. They say you can put a Pokémon from your discard pile into your bench, but it never said it HAD to be a basic one... I think this is a thing, maybe...
