#146 Sophocles - Burning Shadows (sm3)

Sophocles is a Trainer card from the Sun & Moon series, specifically featured in the Burning Shadows set released on August 5, 2017. Designed by artist Sanosuke Sakuma, it carries a Rare Ultra rarity designation. The card functions as a Supporter-type Trainer with no associated Pokémon types or combat statistics, including no HP, attacks, resistances, or weaknesses. Its rules dictate that players must discard two cards from their hand to draw four, and they may play only one Supporter card during their turn before attacking. The card’s unique mechanics focus on manipulating hand size and turn restrictions. It does not require retreat costs or have any listed weaknesses, emphasizing strategic resource management. The card’s design and rules align with the thematic elements of the Sun & Moon series, which often incorporate narrative-driven mechanics. As a Trainer card, it serves as a tool to influence gameplay dynamics without direct combat involvement.
