What it does

Big Parasol

As long as the Pokémon this card is attached to is in the Active Spot, prevent all effects of attacks from your opponent's Pokémon done to all of your Pokémon. (Existing effects are not removed. Damage is not an effect.)

This card acts like a shield against status conditions. It stops poison, paralysis or confusion caused by attacks while leaving normal damage untouched.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on fragile Pokemon. Use it to protect key pieces from being disabled by enemy moves.

Strengths
  • Blocks status effects
  • Protects active Pokemon
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Does not prevent damage
  • Only works on active spot
  • Existing effects remain
Pro tip

Attach it before the opponent uses an attack that causes confusion or paralysis.

Good to know

Parasol Pokemon use their large mushroom cap to shield themselves from rain and sun.

Note for the parent

Remember that this tool does not stop the Pokemon from taking hit points.
