Rival

Rotated Out

A risky Supporter card that lets you search for five specific items.

SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

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

You reveal the top five cards of your deck and let your opponent choose three for you to take.

The remaining two cards go back on top of your deck before you shuffle.

What it does

Rival

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. Reveal the top 5 cards of your deck. Your opponent chooses 3 of those cards. Put those cards into your hand and put other 2 cards on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward.

This card gives you a wide selection of resources but hands the choice to your opponent. It is powerful when you need specific items but dangerous if they pick the ones you wanted most.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that need multiple Trainer cards or Energy to function. It works best in games where you can afford to lose some control over your deck order.

Strengths
  • High resource potential
  • Uncommon rarity
  • Flexible search
Watch out for
  • Opponent chooses the cards
  • One Supporter per turn limit
  • Deck shuffle required
Pro tip

Use this when you have other ways to win so losing a few key cards does not hurt your strategy.

Good to know

Rivals are friends who challenge you to battles and help you grow stronger.

Note for the parent

Ask your child which five cards they hope to find before they reveal them.
