Energy Pouch

If the Pokémon this card is attached to is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack, put all basic Energy attached to that Pokémon into your hand.

This card acts as insurance for your resource investment. Instead of losing valuable energy cards when a Pokemon faints, you get them back to reuse in future turns.

Watch out for
