SwitchCelestial Storm #147 Pokémon Card

Switch is not a Pokémon but rather an Item card, a crucial component in the strategic gameplay of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Item cards, alongside Supporter and Stadium cards, fall under the broader category of Trainer cards, which represent various tools, allies, and locations players can use to influence the game. Unlike Pokémon cards, Item cards do not have a specific generation, habitat, or evolutionary line, as they are abstract representations of actions or objects within the Pokémon world. Their role is purely mechanical, designed to provide tactical advantages during a player's turn. Item cards are integral to nearly every deck archetype, offering versatility and enabling complex combos. Their cultural significance within the TCG community lies in their ability to shape the meta-game, with certain Item cards becoming iconic for their power or utility.
