What it does

Pokémon Circulator

Your opponent switches his or her Active Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon.

This Item card lets you choose which of your opponent's Pokemon becomes the main target. It matters because you can move a weak or damaged Pokemon into the active spot to make it easier to defeat.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on attacking with lower damage numbers or need to remove a specific powerful threat from play.

Strengths
  • Disrupts strategy
  • Saves energy
  • Creates openings
Watch out for
  • Cannot be used if the opponent has no Benched Pokemon
  • Does not deal damage itself
Pro tip

Use it to force a weak Pokemon into the active spot so your next attack can win the game.

Good to know

The name suggests this item helps move energy or cards around the battlefield.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that they choose which Pokemon moves, so they should look at their opponent's bench first.
