Read more ↓Rubber Gloves is not a Pokémon, but rather a Trainer Item card from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As such, it does not have Pokédex lore, a natural habitat, diet, or evolution line. Trainer cards represent items, supporters, or stadiums that trainers use in battle, and they are an essential part of the game's strategy. Rubber Gloves falls under the category of a "Pokémon Tool," which is a specific type of Item card that can be attached to a Pokémon to provide a continuous effect. Trainer cards have been a staple of the Pokémon TCG since its inception, providing strategic depth and variety to gameplay. While not a creature itself, the concept of items and tools is deeply ingrained in the Pokémon universe, from the games to the anime, where trainers frequently use various gadgets and equipment to aid their Pokémon. This card, like many other Trainer cards, aims to replicate that aspect of the Pokémon world within the card game.
