TrainerBeginner to play

What this card does

This Trainer card attaches to one of your Pokemon.

If the opponent attacks that Pokemon and deals damage, their attacker becomes Confused.

What it does

Ear-Ringing Bell

If the 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), the Attacking Pokémon is now Confused.

The Ear-Ringing Bell changes the outcome when your active Pokemon takes a hit. It forces the attacking Pokemon to become confused, which makes its next attack miss half the time.

Which deck it belongs in

This card suits decks that rely on a sturdy defender to absorb hits. It works well in control strategies where you want to disrupt the opponent's momentum after a trade.

Strengths
  • Disrupts attackers
  • Protects active Pokemon
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Only triggers on damage
  • Does not prevent Knock Out
  • Requires attachment phase
Pro tip

Attach this to your strongest defender to maximise the chance of confusing a powerful attacker.

Good to know

Bells are often used in games to signal turns or warn of danger.

Note for the parent

Remind your child to attach this card before their turn ends, as it only works if they are already attached when damage is dealt.
