Energy Switch
Move a Basic Energy from 1 of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon.
Energy Switch moves a single Basic Energy from one of your Pokémon to another. It lets you rescue Energy from a Pokémon that no longer needs it and put it on the attacker that does. That flexibility is handy in decks that burn through a lot of Energy.
Which deck it belongs in
A flexible Item for Energy-hungry decks that need to power up attackers fast.
- •Redirects Energy to the attacker that needs it most
- •Saves Energy from a Pokémon that is about to be retreated or knocked out
- •An Item, so it costs nothing and leaves the Supporter slot free
- •It only moves Basic Energy, not special Energy
- •It moves what is already in play, so it cannot add new Energy to the board
Pairs well with
A hungry attacker that benefits from having loose Energy pulled together onto it quickly.
Park Energy on a safe Benched Pokémon early, then switch it onto your attacker the turn you need to strike.
Energy Switch is a long-serving Item, a quiet workhorse for tuning where your Energy sits.
As an Item, it can be played freely on your turn and does not use the Supporter slot.
