While they share their names with their bodies Pokemon TCG Peers, many of them have been specially modified and restored pocket– Some are so broad that even veteran TCG players may find them challenging to use competitively. With that said, here's a ranking of these nine item cards from least to most effective.

7 Fossil trainer cards

Useless unless you're playing Pokemon Fossil

• effect: A place with medium HP

Fossil physical trainer card problem Pokemon TCG It continues pocket. Players need them to release Pokemon fossils. They do not have special tools outside of this. in Pokemon TCG PocketFossil item cards – Helix, Dome, and Ancient Amber – do nothing but take up a slot on the board and provide 40 HP. And that's why they're the worst item cards in the game.

Makes you prone to fainting

• pocket effect: Reveals the opponent's hand

Based on its description, Hand Scope looks like a powerful item card. However, because Pokemon TCG PocketIn fast matches, anticipating your opponent's options does not necessarily provide a significant advantage. On the other hand, professional TCG Players can quickly respond to this move by changing strategy or drawing more cards.

Knowing what your opponent is holding can be beneficial in certain situations.

So the mana curve is mostly influenced by the cards players draw – it's influenced by the cards already in play.

4 potion

It is only useful when it is plentiful

• rarity: advertising
• effect: Heals a Pokemon for 20 points

Healing can be lifesaving Pokemon TCG games and pocket It is not excluded. However, what the potion item card provides as a healing effect often falls short of saving the game. Giving a damaged Pokemon only 20 HP won't necessarily change the game except in rare scenarios.

In contrast, a support like Erica provides 50 HP per card, for a total of 100 HP, giving her a significantly higher healing capacity.

However, this plan can be disrupted by the red card, which shuffles the deck and changes its order. Despite this risk, the Pokedex card usually provides the player with valuable insight.

When a player uses X Speed, their active Pokemon can retreat with one less energy. Since most Pokemon cards in Pocket TCG Requiring only one energy to retreat, X Speed ​​often allows for free takedowns, making it very effective.

A must in PvP
