Luxurious Cape

Rotated Out

A tool that boosts health and rewards you with an extra prize when your opponent knocks out a tough target.

TrainerBeginner to play

What this card does

It attaches to a Pokémon to give it 100 extra hit points if the Pokémon has no rule box.

When that Pokémon is knocked out by an opponent's attack, you take one additional prize card.

What it does

Luxurious Cape

If the Pokémon this card is attached to doesn't have a Rule Box, it gets +100 HP, and if it is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon, that player takes 1 more Prize card. (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc. have Rule Boxes.)

This card turns a standard Pokémon into a sturdier target with a hidden bonus. If your opponent manages to defeat it, they pay a higher price by giving up two prizes instead of one.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks built around powerful Pokémon ex or V that lack a rule box. These cards benefit from the extra health and the potential to swing the game with an extra prize.

Strengths
  • Extra durability
  • High reward payoff
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Ineffective on ex cards
  • Ineffective on V cards
  • Requires specific targets
Pro tip

Look for strong Pokémon without a rule box to attach this to, as they are the only ones that can trigger the extra prize card benefit.

Good to know

Luxurious Cape is a Trainer card in the Paradox Rift set.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that this only works if the target does not have a rule box, so it will not work on most of the strongest Pokémon in the game.
