Epilogue

Pokémon trainer—c'mon down!

You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!!

Our announcer Jirachi EX invites you to the gameshow where you try guessing the price of random items for a chance to win a number of amazing prizes—including a BRAND NEW CAR! That's our jackpot prize here—and what we've got up for grabs is a muscle car with [Machine Gun Stomp] Metagross—which would be like is like when we peel off on the race track after our big win.

Our host Bob Barker (portrayed by Kangaskhan EX) wants to help us win this fabulous prize, and we (as Jirachi) are dreaming of it right beside him. This is where our excitement begins—with the uphill climb of [Triple Draw] or [Precognitive Dream]—alongside the help of our loved ones Cheren, Tierno, Skyla, and Steven. We need to get the right number of cards in our hand to match Metagross up against our opponent, and the combination of these cards together has the power to make that dream come true!

With this combined draw power, we will be drawing seven cards a turn on average. That's like playing a free Professor Sycamore each turn! From here, we want to get Beldum on the bench with [Calculate], and guess the price of the Rare Candy. If we're successful in doing this, it's going take us straight to the prize. However, the more competition we're up against, the more prices we might have to guess. But not to worry, because we've come fully prepared this. All of our accessories have been tactically selected to help provide us with a surgical precision in our guesswork.

Starting with Level Ball, this accessory freely fetches the greatest majority of content in our deck, making it be the best ball to roll with over all. Master Ball then takes this potential to the next level, and can be used to absolutely secure a little guesswork for us. This diverse potential between these two accessories enables them to act as exact retrieval whenever it's needed—while doubling as tactical retrieval—that we can use at other times to help thin our deck out and concentrate the potency of our next draw. This helps take a little guesswork out for us, and bring the cards we might be looking for a little closer together.

The numbers can get stretched far and wide—and that's why Skyla is here to help instantly take a little guesswork out for us. Our straight draw can be too narrow to bet on by itself, and even trying to rely on Misty's Determination can simply too much of a gamble here. For best results, we need the quality and assurance of Skyla—taking only one card out of hand—in exchange for the one we need.

Trainers' Mail then backs up both Skyla and Level Ball for what they do in their tactical prowess. In its best potential, Trainers' Mail is going to be exchanging a single card in our hand for another one. This keeps the number of cards in our hand at an equilibrium, while extending our reach towards other crucial Trainer cards in the deck, that we might hope to put into our hand right away.

Weakness Policy also, gives us a very useful card when we need it (effectively removing the crushing weaknesses of Fighting or Fire-type—whose power tends to be dangerously high). Yet can simply be kept in hand whenever it's not needed, and effectively add to our hand size. It's a card that never goes to waste, and always has a use for something good. That's like when you write in to The Price is Right and finally getting selected! Just make sure to pay it forward as a token of thanks.

And that's all folks! Bob Barker reminding you to help control the pet population—don't forget to have your pets spayed or neutered.
