What it does

Expert Belt

Attach Expert Belt to 1 of your Pokémon that doesn't already have a Pokémon Tool attached to it. If that Pokémon is Knocked Out, discard this card. The Pokémon this card is attached to gets +20 HP and that Pokémon's attacks do 20 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). When the Pokémon this card is attached to is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 1 more Prize card.

This card makes your attacker stronger and tougher. It also turns a defeat into a bigger victory by giving you another prize card when the Pokémon falls.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on one strong attacker to finish games quickly. It works well in aggressive strategies where knocking out opponents is the main goal.

Strengths
  • Extra damage
  • More hit points
  • Bonus prize
Watch out for
  • One use only
  • Must be attached first
  • Discarded on knockout
Pro tip

Use it on your strongest attacker to maximise the chance of taking that extra prize card.

Good to know

Expert Belts are worn by skilled trainers who know how to read their Pokemon's potential.

Note for the parent

Remind your child to only attach it if there is no other tool already on the Pokémon.
