What it does

Technical Machine TS-1

Attach this card to 1 of your Pokémon in play. That Pokémon may use this card's attack instead of its own.

Technical Machine TS-1 allows you to swap out a Pokemon's standard moves for whatever is listed on the card. This matters because it gives your team flexibility when you need a specific effect that the Pokemon normally lacks.
