2500 ATK is nothing to sniff at, even if it is very lacking for a Level 8 monster
More recently in the metagame, Pokemon Reversal - Gust of Wind on a coin flip - was commonly used in multiple copies (usually three to four) in most decks and even Pokemon Circulator - Gust of Wind but your opponent gets to choose which Pokemon to send in - was sometimes used over Reversal as it didn't require a coin flip and in some scenarios, Circulator can be just as good as Gust of Wind anyway
If you control more than one card named Goblin Researcher, each one's effect is independent from the other
Prerelease Packs also include a spindown life counter (sometimes as a special version in green with golden numbering)
Suitable options for cards to be played include Gecko Moria from The Seven Warlords of the Sea [ST-03], Jinbe from 500 Years in the Future [OP-07], and Edward Weevil from the Extra Booster Memorial Collection [EB-01]
A true showstopper for collectors and fans alike
