Weakness Policy

Rotated Out

A Tool that removes the weakness of the Pokemon it is attached to.

TrainerBeginner to play

What this card does

The card attaches to one of your Pokemon as a Tool.

That Pokemon loses its Weakness entirely.

What it does

Weakness Policy

The Pokémon this card is attached to has no Weakness.

In the game, most Pokemon have a specific type that deals double damage to them. This card stops that extra damage from happening while it is attached.

Which deck it belongs in

This fits decks that rely on a single powerful attacker facing many different opponents. It helps keep that key Pokemon alive longer against common threats.

Strengths
  • Protects key attacker
  • Counters type advantages
  • Simple effect
Watch out for
  • One use per Pokemon
  • Does not remove Resistance
  • Requires attachment
Pro tip

Attach it to the Pokemon that does the most damage, as they are often targeted by opponents.

Good to know

Trainer cards like this represent items or strategies used in battle rather than a specific creature.

Note for the parent

Remind your child to attach this early in the game so their main attacker is protected from the start.
