Collapsed Stadium
Each player can't have more than 4 Benched Pokémon. If a player has 5 or more Benched Pokémon, they discard Benched Pokémon until they have 4 Pokémon on the Bench. The player who played this card discards first. If more than one effect changes the number of Benched Pokémon allowed, use the smaller number.
This card forces both players to keep a smaller bench of Pokemon. It matters because it stops your child from building up a large army of reserves while forcing you to manage your own resources carefully.
Which deck it belongs in
