Collector Insights
Metal Core Barrier is a Trainer card from the Sun & Moon series, released in the Unbroken Bonds set on May 3, 2019. Designed by Studio Bora Inc., it holds a Rare Secret rarity and functions as a special item card. The card’s rules allow players to attach a Pokémon Tool to one of their Pokémon that doesn’t already have a Pokémon Tool attached. If this card remains on a Pokémon during the opponent’s turn, it is discarded at the end of that turn. Additionally, it provides a defensive benefit by reducing damage dealt to Metal Pokémon by 70 points, after accounting for Weakness and Resistance. Players may also play multiple Item cards during their turn before initiating an attack. This card’s unique mechanics focus on strategic resource management and conditional damage mitigation. Its design emphasizes flexibility in gameplay by enabling repeated use of Item cards under specific conditions.
