Trainer
About this super type
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Trainer cards represent the human element of strategy, skill, and support that guides every battle. Acting as tools, allies, and key resources, these cards allow players to draw more cards, heal Pokémon, switch positions, search the deck, or disrupt an opponent’s plans. Trainer cards are divided into categories such as Items, Supporters, and Stadiums, each offering unique tactical advantages that shape how a deck performs. From quick-play Items that deliver instant effects to powerful Supporters that can only be used once per turn, Trainer cards bring depth and versatility to every match. As the minds behind the Pokémon, Trainers provide the structure and decision-making that turn raw Energy and strength into victory, making this supertype an indispensable part of the Pokémon TCG experience.
