Big Air Balloon
The Stage 2 Pokémon this card is attached to has no Retreat Cost.
In the game each turn your Pokemon must pay an energy cost to retreat to the bench. This card removes that requirement entirely for the attached Stage 2 Pokemon so it can switch out freely.
Which deck it belongs in
This suits decks that rely on a specific Stage 2 attacker and need to keep it safe from damage or status effects by switching it out often.
- •Free movement
- •Stage 2 support
- •Safety switch
- •Only for Stage 2
- •One tool limit
Attach this card early in the game so your attacker is ready to retreat whenever you need it.
The name suggests a balloon that provides big air support to help Pokemon stay aloft and mobile.
You only get one Tool card per Pokemon so ensure your child attaches it before they need to retreat.
