Roller Skater

Rotated Out

A clever card that helps you find what you need by trading away a card.

SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

You must throw one card from your hand into the discard pile.

You then draw two new cards from your deck.

If the card you threw away was an Energy card, you get to draw two extra cards.

What it does

Roller Skater

Discard a card from your hand. If you do, draw 2 cards. If you discarded an Energy card in this way, draw 2 more cards.

This Supporter card acts like a smart filter for your hand. By discarding a specific card, you can quickly refresh your options and gain significant advantage if that discarded card happens to be Energy.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that have many basic Energy cards they do not need right now. It is also good for decks that rely on drawing lots of cards to find their key pieces.

Strengths
  • Card advantage
  • Energy recycling
  • Hand refresh
Watch out for
  • Discard cost
  • Unpredictable results
Pro tip

Only play this if you have an Energy card in hand that your opponent cannot use.

Good to know

Roller Skater is a human Trainer card, not a Pokemon creature.

Note for the parent

Ask your child which card they plan to discard before they play it, so you can see if it was an Energy card for the bonus draw.
