#163 Escape Rope - Burning Shadows (sm3)

Escape Rope is a Trainer card from the Sun & Moon series, specifically featured in the Burning Shadows set released on August 5, 2017. The card is illustrated by artist Toyste Beach and carries a rarity of Rare Secret, with the card number 163. Its primary function is defined by two distinct rules that govern gameplay. The first rule allows each player to switch their Active Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon, with the opponent initiating the switch first. If a player lacks a Benched Pokémon, they skip this action. The second rule permits players to play multiple Item cards during their turn, provided it occurs before their attack phase. This card’s unique mechanics emphasize strategic interaction and resource management during gameplay. It serves as a versatile tool for altering the battlefield dynamics without relying on traditional Pokémon attributes or attacks.
