Read more ↓Hero's Cape is not a Pokémon, but rather a Pokémon Tool card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As such, it does not have Pokédex lore, natural habitat, diet, or an evolution line. Instead, it represents an item that can be attached to a Pokémon to grant it a beneficial effect during battle. Pokémon Tool cards are a long-standing mechanic in the TCG, designed to add strategic depth by allowing players to customize their Pokémon with various enhancements. These tools can range from items that boost HP or attack damage to those that provide special abilities or resistances. The concept of tools and items is deeply embedded in the core Pokémon video games, where players use a wide array of items to help their Pokémon in battles, training, and exploration. The TCG translates this game mechanic into card form, allowing trainers to equip their Pokémon with useful gear. Hero's Cape, by providing a significant HP boost, falls into the category of defensive tools, making the attached Pokémon more resilient in combat. This type of utility card is crucial for building diverse and effective decks, as it can turn the tide of a match by keeping key Pokémon in play longer. Pokémon Tool cards are typically colorless, meaning they can be included in any deck regardless of the Pokémon's type, offering universal strategic value.
