What it does

Adversity Policy

If the Pokémon this card is attached to has Weakness to your opponent's Active Pokémon's type, is in the Active Spot, and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), draw 3 cards.

This card provides an unexpected boost when your Active Pokémon is under pressure, allowing you to regain momentum in the game.

Which deck it belongs in

Works best in decks that rely on strong Active Pokémon with Weaknesses, as it can be activated frequently.

Strengths
  • Provides card draw
  • Supports weak Active Pokémon
Watch out for
  • Only active when your Pokémon has Weakness
  • Doesn't help if the Pokémon isn't damaged
Pro tip

Use this card in conjunction with Pokémon that have Weaknesses but also strong attacks or defenses.

Good to know

Adversity Policy is a Trainer card, providing strategic benefits rather than direct combat power.

Note for the parent
