Choice Helmet

The Pokémon this card is attached to takes 30 less damage from the attacks of your opponent’s Pokémon-GX and Pokémon-EX (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

This card acts as extra armour against the strongest cards in the game. It makes your Pokemon much harder to knock out when facing heavy hitters.

It suits decks that expect to face many powerful Pokemon-GX or Pokemon-EX opponents. It is useful for keeping your main attacker alive longer.

Strengths
  • Reduces damage from EX cards
  • Reduces damage from GX cards
  • Increases survival time
Watch out for
  • Only works on EX and GX attacks
  • One tool per Pokemon limit
Pro tip

Attach it to the Pokemon that is most likely to be attacked by a powerful enemy.

Good to know

This item looks like a helmet made of choice, offering protection in battle.
