Victory CupBlack White Promos #BW31 Pokémon Card

Trainer cards are a fundamental category in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, representing items, supporters, or stadiums that influence gameplay. Unlike Pokémon, Trainer cards don't have HP, evolution lines, or types. Item cards, specifically, are tools or objects that players can use during their turn to gain an advantage, often drawing cards, searching the deck, or manipulating the board state. They are crucial for setting up strategies and maintaining momentum throughout a game. The concept of Trainer cards has been present since the very beginning of the Pokémon TCG, evolving over generations to include various subcategories and effects that mirror the diverse items and characters found within the Pokémon video games and anime. They are integral to competitive play, allowing for strategic depth and diverse deck builds.
