Read more ↓Devolution Spray is not a Pokémon, but rather a Trainer card from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As such, it does not have Pokédex lore, natural habitat, diet, behavior, or an evolution line. Trainer cards represent items, supporters, or stadiums that can be used during a Pokémon battle, offering strategic advantages, healing, or other effects. Devolution Spray specifically plays a role in manipulating the evolutionary stages of Pokémon in play. It does not belong to any specific type or generation in the way a Pokémon does, nor does it have typical type matchups. Its significance in the games and anime is through its representation of a strategic tool, allowing players to revert evolved Pokémon to an earlier stage, which can be crucial for various tactical plays. These types of Trainer cards are foundational to the strategic depth of the Pokémon TCG, allowing for diverse deck strategies beyond just strong Pokémon attacks.
