What it does

Energy Spinner

Search your deck for a basic Energy card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you go second and it’s your first turn, search for up to 3 basic Energy cards instead of 1. Then, shuffle your deck.

This card helps players quickly find the specific energy types their Pokemon require. It is especially useful when going second because it allows a much larger search of three cards on that first turn.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits any deck that relies on basic Energy cards to power its attacks. The extra search option makes it particularly valuable in decks where going second is common.

Strengths
  • Fast setup
  • Extra search when going second
  • Reliable resource
Watch out for
  • Only finds basic Energy
  • Shuffles the deck
  • Limited to one card normally
Pro tip

Use this card on turn one if you go second to maximise the three-card search option.

Good to know
