Cleansing GlovesBrilliant Stars #136 Pokémon Card

Cleansing Gloves are not a Pokémon but rather an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, designed to be attached to a Pokémon. As such, they do not have a Pokédex entry, natural habitat, diet, or evolution line. Item cards represent various tools, equipment, or consumables that trainers use within the Pokémon world to aid their Pokémon in battle or during their journey. These items are integral to the strategy of the Pokémon games and anime, providing boosts, healing, or unique effects. Cleansing Gloves specifically enhance a Pokémon’s offensive capabilities, reflecting the idea of specialized gear providing an advantage. They belong to the broader category of "Pokémon Tool" cards, which are a recurring mechanic in the TCG, allowing players to customize their Pokémon with beneficial effects. Their introduction in the Sword & Shield era signifies the ongoing development of strategic options available to players, mirroring the vast array of items found in the main series video games.
