What this card does

Another Pokémon Tool. Rescue Board lowers Retreat Cost by one, and if the Pokémon is badly hurt, with 30 HP or less left, it can retreat for free.

It is built to rescue a damaged attacker before it is knocked out.

What it does

Rescue Board

The Retreat Cost of the Pokémon this card is attached to is Colorless less. If that Pokémon's remaining HP is 30 or less, it has no Retreat Cost.

Retreat costs one less Energy, or nothing at all when the Pokémon is nearly knocked out. That lets you save a wounded Pokémon and the Energy attached to it.

Which deck it belongs in

A flexible tool for decks that want to retreat wounded attackers and heal them.

Strengths
  • Free retreat when nearly knocked out
  • Saves the Energy on a hurt Pokémon
  • Cheap and common
Watch out for
  • Only one Tool per Pokémon
  • Smaller help while the Pokémon is healthy

Pairs well with

Air Balloon
Air Balloon

Pro tip

Good to know

Tools attach during your turn, with no limit on how many you play, but only one per Pokémon.
