In November 2000 the psychic/magician, Uri Geller, sued Nintendo for using his image without his permission. The Pokémon Kadabra (know as Yungerer in Japan), is a psychic type that uses a spoon, which is Uri Geller's trade mark. The character also has a star on its forehead and lighting-bolts on his chest. Because of all this, Kadabra stopped appearing in the Trading Card Game until 2020, when Geller dropped the case following gradual fan requests over the years.
