What it does

Bent Spoon

Prevent all effects of your opponent's attacks, except damage, done to the Pokémon this card is attached to. (Existing effects are not removed.)

This Tool card acts as a shield against special abilities used in attacks. It stops status conditions or other non-damage effects while leaving the actual hitpoints intact.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on a specific Pokémon to survive long enough to deal damage. You would use it when your opponent's attacks try to weaken your key player with extra effects.

Strengths
  • Blocks status conditions
  • Protects key attackers
  • Simplifies defense
Watch out for
  • Does not block damage
  • Does not remove existing effects
  • Requires attachment
Pro tip

Attach it before your opponent attacks to ensure the protection is active.

Good to know

A bent spoon is often considered bad luck in some cultures, but here it helps your team stay safe.

Note for the parent

Remember that the card stops effects but does not stop the attack from dealing damage to the Pokémon's health.
