Swoop! Teleporter
Rotated OutA Trainer card that swaps your bench Pokemon with one in play.
What this card does
Find a Basic Pokemon in your deck that is not a Pokemon-ex.
Swap it with a Basic Pokemon you already have in play that is not a Pokemon-ex.
Move all attached cards, damage counters and effects to the new Pokemon.
Swoop! Teleporter
Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex) and switch it with 1 of your Basic Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex) in play. (Any cards attached to that Pokémon, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) Place the first Basic Pokémon in the discard pile. Shuffle your deck afterward.
This card lets you instantly replace an injured or struggling Pokemon with a fresh one from your deck. It keeps your active spot filled without losing any gear or status on the new Pokemon.
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that rely on swapping Basic Pokemon to avoid damage or change types. The restriction on Pokemon-ex means it works best in older or non-ex focused builds.
- •Quick replacement
- •Preserves attachments

Use it when your active Pokemon is low on health to bring a fresh one with all its items still attached.
