What this card does

Fisherman lets you take four basic Energy cards from your discard pile and add them to your hand.

You can only play one Supporter card like this during your entire turn.

What it does

Fisherman

Put 4 basic Energy cards from your discard pile into your hand. You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

This card acts as a safety net for your resources. It allows you to retrieve lost energy instead of leaving it behind in the discard pile.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on heavy energy costs or frequently use cards that send energy to the bin. The shiny rare version adds collectible value to the deck.

Strengths
  • Resource recovery
  • Cost efficiency
  • Shiny rarity
Watch out for
  • One use per turn
  • Only basic energy
Pro tip

Save Fisherman for when you have run out of energy in hand or need to quickly power up a strong attack.

Good to know

Fisherman is a Trainer card representing the people who catch fish, rather than Pokemon.

Note for the parent

Remind your child they can only use this once per turn, so timing is important.
