Pokemon attack question, and card sleeves?
I have a pokemon card named Beldum (117/195) and one of it's attack is magnetic lift, the description is search your deck for a card. Shuffle your deck then put that card on top of it. Does this mean I can search for any card I want? Also, could I play tournaments with card sleeves? Even if those sleeves are made by the Pokémon company?

Isn't it required to use sleeves?

Yes for both questions. As for what sleeves you should use, I recommend Dragon Shield sleeves, they’re about $12.50 for 100, and the boxes they come in can be used as deck boxes if you want.

Sleeves are a requirement for any tournament. If you want quality sleeves, get Katana. That's what I use, and they're really the best sleeves I've ever used. Dragon Shield is cheaper and MUCH MUCH easier to find, but if you really want quality sleeves then you should order some Katana ones off of Amazon or something.

And yes, beldum's attack allows you to search for ANY card, like Pidgeot ex's Quick Search ability. If the attack does not specify what kind of card you are able to get (pokemon, trainer, etc.) then it means any card.
