SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

The card forces the opponent's Active Pokemon to become Confused.

It also forces that same Pokemon to become Poisoned.

What it does

Koga’s Trap

Your opponent’s Active Pokémon is now Confused and Poisoned.

This Trainer card allows you to apply both Confusion and Poison to a single target. This is useful because it creates immediate pressure by limiting the opponent's options and dealing damage over time.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on attrition or status-based strategies. It works well in teams where you want to weaken a key threat quickly.

Strengths
  • Dual status application
  • Immediate pressure
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • One use per turn limit
  • Target specific
  • Does not deal direct damage
Pro tip

Use this when the opponent's Active Pokemon is already weakened to maximise the impact of the added conditions.

Good to know

Koga is a former member of the Elite Four who specialises in poison-type techniques.
