ItemBeginner to play

What this card does

Heal 80 damage from one of your Pokémon if it has at least one Psychic Energy attached.

Discard a Psychic Energy from that same Pokémon after healing.

What it does

Suspicious Food Tin

Heal 80 damage from 1 of your Pokémon that has at least 1 Psychic Energy attached. If you healed any damage in this way, discard a Psychic Energy from it.

This card acts as a temporary fix for your Psychic-type fighters. It removes significant damage but costs you an energy resource to do so, making the trade-off clear.

Which deck it belongs in

It fits best in decks built around Psychic-types that can afford to lose an energy card. It is less useful in decks without Psychic Energy attached.

Strengths
  • Reduces damage quickly
  • Suits Psychic decks
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Requires Psychic Energy
  • Destroys energy source
  • One-time use per turn
Pro tip

Use this card only when your Psychic Pokémon is in danger of fainting and you have spare energy to discard.

Good to know

The name suggests the contents might be questionable, which fits its risky effect.

Note for the parent

Explain to your child that healing comes with a cost, so they should only use it when the benefit outweighs losing the energy.
