What this card does

This Trainer card attaches to a Pokemon as a Tool.

It adds 60 damage to attacks if the Pokemon has 30 HP or less and at least one damage counter.

What it does

Hustle Belt

If the Pokémon this card is attached to has 30 HP or less remaining and has any damage counters on it, its attacks do 60 more damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

This item helps your Pokemon hit harder when it is already hurt. The extra damage applies before you check for weaknesses or resistances from the opponent.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that focus on dealing heavy damage quickly. It works well with cards that can safely lower a Pokemon's health to trigger the bonus.

Strengths
  • High damage output
  • Situational power spike
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Requires specific HP conditions
  • Needs existing damage counters
  • Only affects one Pokemon at a time
Pro tip

Attach this to a Pokemon that can survive long enough to take some damage but still have enough HP left to stay in play.

Good to know

A belt designed to enhance the wearer's physical prowess during intense battles.

Note for the parent

You only need to count the damage counters and check the HP number to see if the bonus applies.
