#174 Area Zero Underdepths - Stellar Crown (sv7)

Area Zero Underdepths is a Hyper Rare Trainer card from the Scarlet & Violet series, released as part of the Stellar Crown set on September 13, 2024. It features a regulation mark of H and operates as a Stadium card with specific rules governing gameplay. The card allows each player with Tera Pokémon in play to have up to 8 Pokémon on their Bench, but if a player no longer has Tera Pokémon, they must discard Bench Pokémon until they have 5. When this card leaves play, both players discard Bench Pokémon to reduce their count to 5, with the player who played the card discarding first. Additionally, it restricts players to playing only one Stadium card during their turn, requiring it to be placed next to the Active Spot and discarded if another Stadium card enters play. A Stadium card with the same name cannot be played again. The card’s rules emphasize managing Bench Pokémon counts and limiting Stadium card usage, impacting game strategy through these specific conditions. Its Trainer type and lack of standard attributes like HP or attacks position it as a unique gameplay modifier rather than a Pokémon or Energy card.
