Read more ↓Rocky Helmet is not a Pokémon but an Item card, representing a piece of equipment that a Pokémon can hold. As such, it doesn't have Pokédex lore, natural habitat, diet, or behavior in the traditional sense. It draws its thematic inspiration from the Pokémon games, where items like the Rocky Helmet can be held by Pokémon to provide various in-battle effects. In the video games, the Rocky Helmet causes damage to an opponent's Pokémon if they make direct contact with the holder. This card translates that game mechanic into the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Items like the Rocky Helmet are crucial for strategic depth in both the video games and the TCG, allowing players to customize their Pokémon's abilities and counter opponents. The concept of held items was introduced early in the Pokémon game series, evolving over generations to include a vast array of tools that can significantly impact battle outcomes. In the TCG, these items often provide defensive or offensive boosts, utility, or disruptive effects.
