Mary's Request

Rotated Out

A clever Supporter card that rewards players for building their evolved Pokemon.

SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

You place this card next to your Active Pokemon and keep it until your turn finishes.

You draw one card immediately, and if you have no Stage 2 Evolved Pokemon in play, you draw two additional cards.

What it does

Mary's Request

You can play only one Supporter card each turn. When you play this card, put it next to your Active Pokémon. When your turn ends, discard this card. Draw a card. If you don't have any Stage 2 Evolved Pokémon in play, draw 2 more cards.

This card acts as a temporary storage space that helps you manage your hand. It gives you extra draws when your team is still in its early stages, helping you find the pieces you need to evolve.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on evolving their Pokemon quickly to reach Stage 2. It is less useful for decks that already have multiple evolved Pokemon ready to fight.

Strengths
  • Hand advantage
  • Evolving support
  • Resource generation
Watch out for
  • One use only
  • Turn limit rule
  • Requires specific deck state
Pro tip

Play this card early in the game before you have evolved your Pokemon to get the maximum three cards.

Good to know

Mary is a character from the Pokemon anime who helps Ash and his friends with their journeys.

Note for the parent

Remind your child they can only play one Supporter card per turn, so this choice will affect their next move.
