#121 Wishful Baton - Crimson Invasion (sm4)

Wishful Baton is a Trainer card from the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Crimson Invasion set, released on November 3, 2017. Designed by artist Toyste Beach, it functions as a special tool that allows players to attach a Pokémon Tool to one of their Pokémon without an existing tool. If the Pokémon this card is attached to becomes the Active Pokémon and is Knocked Out by an opponent’s attack, the player can transfer up to three basic Energy cards from that Pokémon to a Benched Pokémon. The card also grants the ability to play multiple Item cards during the player’s turn before initiating an attack. Its rules emphasize strategic resource management and flexibility in gameplay. As a Trainer card, it does not have traditional attack mechanics or type attributes. The card’s unique mechanics focus on enhancing deck interactions and tactical positioning during battles. Its design encourages players to leverage its effects for both offensive and defensive advantages.
