TrainerBeginner to play

What this card does

This Trainer card attaches to a Dragon Pokemon as a Tool.

When the opponent attacks your active Dragon and deals damage, they take 3 damage counters in return.

What it does

Dragon Talon

If the Dragon Pokémon this card is attached to is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent’s attack (even if that Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 3 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.

This card acts as a shield with teeth. It ensures that any Dragon Pokemon wearing it is protected by a counter attack that hurts the opponent regardless of whether your Dragon survives the hit.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks built around durable Dragon Pokemon that need extra protection in key moments.

Strengths
  • Retaliation damage
  • Survival support
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Only works on Dragons
  • Requires attachment
  • Does not prevent damage
Pro tip

Attach this to your strongest Dragon before the battle begins to ensure it is ready for any attack.

Good to know

Dragon Talon is a fictional item from the game world rather than a real creature.

Note for the parent

Remember that this effect triggers even if your Dragon is knocked out, so it remains useful for weakening the opponent's attacker.
