What it does

Mr. Briney's Compassion

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. Choose 1 of your Pokémon in play (excluding Pokémon-ex). Return that Pokémon and all cards attached to it to your hand.

This card acts as a reset button for a specific Pokemon. It allows you to retrieve that Pokemon along with any Energy or Items attached to it, giving you flexibility for the next turn.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on reusing powerful attachments or switching out key attackers without losing their resources.

Strengths
  • Recovers attached Energy
  • Retrieves benched Pokemon
  • Flexible target selection
Watch out for
  • One use per turn limit
  • Cannot target Pokemon-ex
  • Card is discarded after use
Pro tip

Use it to save a Pokemon that has valuable Energy attached, rather than just moving an empty Pokemon.

Good to know

Mr. Briney is a navigator who uses his compass to guide ships safely through the sea.

Note for the parent

Remember that your child can only play one Supporter card per turn, so this move uses up their support action for the round.
