Tool Retriever is not a Pokémon but rather an Item card, a specific type of Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As such, it doesn't have Pokédex lore, a natural habitat, diet, evolution line, or type matchups in the traditional sense of a Pokémon. Item cards are essential components of a player's strategy, allowing them to perform various actions to gain an advantage in battle, such as drawing cards, healing Pokémon, or manipulating cards in play. Tool cards, which Tool Retriever interacts with, are a subcategory of Item cards that are attached to Pokémon to provide them with ongoing benefits or effects. The concept of retrieving tools is a fundamental aspect of resource management in the TCG, enabling players to reuse valuable cards and adapt their strategy throughout a game. Item cards, including Tool Retriever, are introduced in every generation of the TCG and play a crucial role in shaping the meta-game by offering diverse tactical options.
