Read more ↓Dream Ball is not a Pokémon, but rather an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Item cards are a type of Trainer card that represent various objects or tools used by Trainers in the Pokémon world. The Dream Ball itself is a specialized Poké Ball designed to catch Pokémon encountered in the Entree Forest within the Pokémon Dream World, a now-defunct online feature introduced in the Generation V games, Pokémon Black and White. In the games, Pokémon caught with a Dream Ball would have their Hidden Abilities. This card brings a strategic element from the video games into the TCG by allowing players to search for a Pokémon, reflecting the ball's primary function of acquiring new Pokémon. Item cards are crucial for setting up strategies and accelerating gameplay, offering effects like drawing cards, searching the deck, or healing Pokémon. The Dream Ball's specific effect of searching for a Pokémon to put onto the Bench directly mirrors the game's concept of obtaining a new team member.
