Rotated Out

A Supporter card that lets you draw cards based on what your opponent has on the field.

SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

You place this card next to your Active Pokémon when you play it.

The card stays there until your turn ends, then you discard it.

You draw a number of cards equal to how many Pokémon your opponent has in play.

What it does

Steven's Advice

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. Draw a number of cards up to the number of your opponent's Pokémon in play. If you have 7 or more cards (including this one) in your hand, you can't play this card.

This card acts as a temporary boost to your hand size. It allows you to grab new options by counting the number of Pokemon your opponent currently has on the field.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that need to recover from low card counts or face opponents with many Pokemon on the bench. It works well in control strategies where drawing cards is key.

Strengths
  • Card advantage
  • Flexibility
  • Hand recovery
Watch out for
  • One supporter per turn limit
  • Seven card hand cap
  • Discarded after use
Pro tip

Check your opponent's bench before playing to see how many cards you might draw.
