Items

Adventuring Satchel

Search your deck for up to 2 Pokemon Tool cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before you attack).

Although it seems to be an amazing item, it sees little usage around here. Maybe people need to give it a go, since it’s an incredible useful card !
Searching for 2 tools for free, without a coin flip ! It also helps to thin your deck, since it’s 1 item that brings another 2, so it actively removes 3 cards from your deck.

Choice Helmet

Pokemon Tool: Attach a Pokemon Tool to 1 of your Pokemon that doesn’t already have a Pokemon Tool attached to it.
The Pokemon this card is attached to takes 30 less damage from the attacks of your opponent’s Pokemon-GX and Pokemon-EX.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

Although, subpar if you compare it to metal frying pan or safety googles (dark order), it can still be useful for a couple metal decks, like Scyther GX or Genesect GX. And specially good in the Upcoming Ferrothorn deck (dark order).
When you know your attacks lack the power to OHKO, you try to reduce income damage and go for the 2 hits KO strategy.

Counter Gain

Attach a Pokemon Tool to 1 of your Pokemon that doesn’t already have a Pokemon Tool attached to it.
As long as you have more Prize cards remaining than your opponent, the attacks of the Pokemon this card is attached to cost [C] less.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

Amazing card ! It can be useful on almost all counter decks.
Together with counter energy, you can power up a 3 energy cost attack in 1 turn !
Surprising your opponent and changing the game.

Custom Catcher

You may play 2 Custom Catcher cards at once:
If you played 1 card, draw cards from your deck until you have 3 cards in your hand.
If you played 2 cards, choose 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon and switch it with their Active Pokemon.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

This is a very powerful item when you use 2 of. I can see it being used in Alolan Ninetales decks.
Since you can evolve and search 2 copies of this item, and also play the support of the turn !

Electric Power

During this turn, your [L] Pokemon’s attacks do 30 more damage to your opponent’s Active Pokemon.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

Making electric pokemons be good again. This 30dmg boost is a lot, since you can chain multiple electric powers at the same turn.

Charms


Pokemon Tool: Attach a Pokemon Tool to 1 of your Pokemon that doesn’t already have a Pokemon Tool attached to it.
Prevent all damage done to the [Fairy] Pokemon that this card is attached to by the attacks of your opponent’s [Grass]/[Psychic]/[Fighting]/[Dragon] Pokemon-GX and Pokemon-EX.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

Can be a little clunk to use, but you never know if the meta will shift to a one type only winning deck.
If that is the case, charms will become a major piece in any fairy decks.

Lost Mixer

Put 2 cards from your hand in the Lost Zone. Then, draw 1 card from your deck. (If you can’t put 2 cards from your hand in the Lost Zone, this card can’t be played.)
You can use as many Item cards as you want during your turn (before you attack).

This card proved to be very versatile. Mainly used together with Lost March decks, it let you draw 1 card and put other 2 in the lost zone.
Also it is used in Fairy Granbull decks to get ride of cards in hand that you can’t normally play. Like 2 energies or 2 of the same stadium.

Mix Herb

You may play 2 Mix Herb cards at once.
If you played 1 card, remove 1 Special Condition from your Active Pokemon.
If you played 2 cards, remove all Special Conditions and 90 damage from your Active Pokemon.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

Can be useful against some matchups that are status heavy. Like the Raichu that paralyzes when evolved, or alolan muck gx decks.
Since this decks are not often played, this card may not be playable all the time.

Moo-Moo Milk

Choose 1 of your Pokemon. Flip 2 coins. For each heads, heal 30 damage from that Pokemon.
You can use as many Item cards as you want during your turn (before you attack).

It’s a potion, with a higher risk/reward. =)
But it combos with the new Miltank, and let it swap for whooping 240dmg.
Very good if you have a way to get it to your hand consistently, like Steven.

Net Ball

Search your deck for a basic [G] Pokemon or a [G] Energy, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before you attack).

A must have card for grass decks. It’s very versatile, and a big help for grass decks.

Spell Tag

Pokemon Tool: Attach a Pokemon Tool to 1 of your Pokemon that doesn’t already have a Pokemon Tool attached to it.
If the [P] Pokemon this card is attached to is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent’s attack, put 4 damage counters on your opponent’s Pokemon in any way you like.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before you attack).

It sees play a lot on decks running damage spread. Since you can choose how to put the counters, it helps to fix the math while spreading damage.

React Hammer

This card can only be used by the player going second, on their first turn.
Discard an Energy from one of your opponent’s Pokemon in play.
You can use as many Item cards as you want during your turn (before you attack).

It is strong if played in the first turn if you go second.
It also has synergy with other cards, that let you have a bonus for discarding it.

Support

Aether Foundation Employee

Put 3 Alolan Pokemon from your discard pile into your hand.
You can play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

Can be very useful for future decks and also current Alolan pokemon decks. I can see it being good together with Alolan Ninetales.

Faba

Choose 1 of your opponent’s Pokemon Tool cards, Special Energy cards, or Stadiums in play, and put it in the Lost Zone.
You can only use 1 Supporter card during your turn (before you attack).

It’s a updated version of Xerosick, with the benefit of chosing stadiums as well, and sending it to the lost zone, not the discard. Very good card.

Kahili

Draw 2 cards. Then flip a coin. If heads, put this Kahili back into your hand instead of discarding it.
You may only play 1 Supporter card during your turn (before you attack).

Can be good for decks that don’t want to shuffle their hand back in the deck. Like the new Miltank deck.

Mina

Search your deck for a [Y] Energy and attach it to 1 of your Pokemon. Then, shuffle your deck.
You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

Very strong support that provide rare energy acceleration. Something lacking in the format in the form of a trainer card.

Professor Elm’s Lecture

Search your deck for up to 3 Pokemon with 60 HP or less, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
You can only use 1 Supporter card during your turn (before you attack

A staple to replace Bridget. It can also search for evolved pokemon under 60hp, a critical point for Lost March deck. It’s a extremely playable card for most decks that rely on evolution lines.

Sightseer

Draw cards from your deck until you have 5 cards in your hand. Before drawing, you may discard any number of cards from your hand.
You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

Another staple card. It has the benefit to help discard things. Like energies and other combo required cards that you need in the discard pile.

Whitney

Draw 1 card. Draw an additional 2 cards for each Whitney in your discard pile (excluding this one).
You can only use 1 Supporter card during your turn (before you attack).

Like Kahili, it’s very powerful for decks that don’t want to shuffle their hand back in the deck. In late game you can draw up to 7 cards with this support.

Prism Star

Thunder Mountain Prism Star

You can’t have more than 1 Prism Star card with the same name in your deck. If a Prism Star card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead.
The attacks of each player’s [L] Pokemon cost [L] less.
As long as this Stadium is in play, whenever a player uses an Item or Supporter card from their hand, prevent all effects of those cards done to this Stadium.
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can’t play this card.

Wow, just wow. That stadium is so strong for electric decks ! Anything that let’s you attack for less energies has a tendency to be good, but this stadium is more than good ! Since it protects itself against field blowers.

Life Forest Prism Star

You can’t have more than 1 Prism Star card with the same name in your deck. If a Prism Star card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead.
Once during each player’s turn, that player may heal 60 damage and remove all Special Conditions from 1 of their [G] Pokemon.
As long as this Stadium is in play, whenever a player uses an Item or Supporter card from their hand, prevent all effects of those cards done to this Stadium.
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can’t play this card.

Good for Sceptile GX decks, providing a way to recover HP between the 2HKO attacks. Also 60hp recover aided by other recover sources, can be very good.

Heat Factory Prism Star

You can’t have more than 1 Prism Star card with the same name in your deck. If a Prism Star card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead.
Once during your turn (before you attack) you may discard a [R] Energy from your hand. If you do, draw 3 cards.
As long as this Stadium is in play, whenever a player uses and Item or Supporter card from their hand, prevent all effects of those cards done to this Stadium.
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can’t play this card.

A updated version of the XY fire stadium. It let you draw 3 for 1 fire energy discarded, which is excellent ! Getting energies in discard pile is a good thing for fire decks, special for Naganadel/Blacephalon GX decks

Lusamine Prism Star

You can’t have more than 1 Prism Star card with the same name in your deck. If a Prism Star card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead.
You can only play this card if your opponent has 3 Prize cards remaining.
Prevent all damage done to your Ultra Beasts by your opponent’s attacks during your opponent’s next turn.
You can only use 1 Supporter card during your turn (before you attack).

Good for ultra beast box or decks running main attackers as ultra beast. Can also be useful with baby buzz, letting it live for 1 extra turn.
