Read more ↓Counter Gain is a Pokémon Tool card, not a Pokémon itself, so it doesn't have a Pokédex entry, natural habitat, diet, or evolution line. Pokémon Tools were introduced as a card type in the Expedition Base Set, allowing players to attach them to their Pokémon to provide various beneficial effects. These cards represent items that trainers might use in the Pokémon world to enhance their Pokémon's abilities in battle. Tools are integral to strategic gameplay in the Pokémon TCG, often providing stat boosts, attack modifications, or special abilities. Their role in the games and anime is primarily seen through the use of held items or battle items that provide similar tactical advantages. The concept of tools and items has been a consistent element across all generations of Pokémon, allowing for diverse strategies and customization of a Pokémon's battle performance. The cultural significance of such items lies in their ability to turn the tide of battle, symbolizing a trainer's preparedness and strategic depth.
