Read more ↓Fan of Waves is an Item card, not a Pokémon, so it doesn't have Pokédex lore, natural habitat, diet, behavior, generation introduced, evolution line, or type matchups. Instead, it represents a tool or object that can be used by Trainers in the Pokémon world. Item cards are a fundamental part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, providing strategic depth and allowing players to execute various tactics during a game. They are analogous to items found within the main series Pokémon video games, such as Potions, Poké Balls, or held items that provide benefits to Pokémon. In the TCG, Item cards often replicate these functions or introduce unique effects not directly tied to a Pokémon's abilities or attacks. The concept of using items to influence battles has been present since the very first generation of Pokémon games and continues to be a core element across all media, including the anime where Trainers frequently use various tools to aid their Pokémon. Their role is to offer utility, support, disruption, or acceleration, making them indispensable for constructing a versatile and competitive deck.
