SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

You place this card next to your active Pokemon and draw two cards from your deck.

When your turn ends, the card is discarded and your opponent must remove a random card from their hand.

What it does

Team Rocket's Trickery

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 2 cards. Then, your opponent discards a card from his or her hand.

This card acts as a temporary boost that clears your hand of unwanted options. It gives you fresh resources while weakening your opponent's ability to respond effectively.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that need consistent card flow and can afford to lose one random resource from the opponent. It works well in strategies that rely on drawing power rather than complex setups.

Strengths
  • Card advantage
  • Disruption
  • Simplicity
Watch out for
  • One use only
  • Random loss for opponent

Pro tip

Use it when your opponent has key cards in hand to maximize the disruption.
