Great Catcher
Rotated OutA tricky Trainer card that swaps your opponent's star Pokemon with a weaker one on the bench.
What this card does
You must discard two cards from your hand to play this card.
It forces your opponent to move one of their Benched Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX to the Active spot.
Their current Active Pokémon moves to the Bench instead.
Great Catcher
You can play this card only if you discard 2 other cards from your hand. Switch 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX with their Active Pokémon.
This card acts like a tactical swap that disrupts the flow of the game. It matters because it can pull a powerful opponent's main attacker away from their position and replace it with a less threatening Pokemon.
Which deck it belongs in
This card suits decks that rely on disrupting the opponent's strategy rather than just dealing damage. It works well in control-style decks where you want to slow down your opponent's big plays.
- •Disrupts powerful attackers
- •Forces strategic mistakes
- •Targets specific Pokemon types
- •Requires discarding two cards
- •Only affects GX or EX Pokemon
- •Cannot be played if no valid targets exist
Use this card when your opponent has a very strong Active Pokémon and a weaker one on the Bench.
Trainer cards are tools that help players manage their game, much like how trainers help Pokemon in the stories.
Explain to your child that they need to think carefully about which two cards to discard, as those are gone for the rest of the turn.
