You look at the top seven cards of your deck and take one into your hand.

You return the remaining six cards to the top of your deck and shuffle everything.

What it does

Cynthia's Guidance

You can play only one Supporter card each turn. When you play this card, put it next to your Active Pokémon. When your turn ends, discard this card. Look at the top 7 cards of your deck, choose 1 of them, and put it into your hand. Put the other cards back on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward.

This Supporter card lets you sift through the top of your deck to find exactly what you need. It is very useful when you are waiting for a specific item or energy card to win the game.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits any deck that needs to dig for key pieces like Energy or tools. It works well in decks where finding one specific card can change the outcome of the match.

Note for the parent

Remember that your child can only play one Supporter card per turn, so this must be their single move for that phase.
