Curse Powder
Rotated OutA tricky tool that punishes opponents for knocking out your Basic or Ex Pokemon.

If you attach it to a Basic or Pokemon-ex, the card is discarded immediately.
If your Active Pokemon with Curse Powder is knocked out, the attacking Pokemon takes 3 damage.
Curse Powder
Attach Curse Powder to 1 of your Evolved Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex) that doesn't already have a Pokémon Tool attached to it. If the Pokémon Curse Powder is attached to is a Basic Pokémon or Pokémon-ex, discard Curse Powder. If the Pokémon that Curse Powder is attached to is your Active Pokémon and is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack, put 3 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.
This card acts as a hidden trap. It only works if attached to an Evolved Pokemon and stays there until that Pokemon is defeated, at which point it deals damage back to the attacker.
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that rely on sturdy Evolved Pokemon in the Active spot. It is less useful for decks focused on Basic or Pokemon-ex cards.

Curse Powder is a fictional item and not a real type of Pokemon.
Your child must remember to check if the target Pokemon is already holding a tool before attaching it.
