#252 Karate Belt - Unified Minds (sm11)
Karate Belt is a Trainer card from the Sun & Moon series, released in the Unified Minds set on August 2, 2019. Designed by artist Yoshinobu Saito, it functions as a special Item card with three distinct rules. The first rule allows attaching a Pokémon Tool to one of your Pokémon that lacks a tool, enhancing strategic flexibility. The second rule adjusts the cost of attacks for the attached Pokémon based on the remaining Prize cards, creating a dynamic gameplay mechanic. The third rule permits playing multiple Item cards during your turn before initiating an attack, expanding resource management options. This card’s unique interaction with Prize cards and Item play influences battle strategy without relying on traditional Pokémon attributes. Its rarity is classified as Rare Secret, reflecting its special role in the set. The card’s design emphasizes tactical adaptation through its conditional effects and supplementary gameplay rules.
