#139 Dark Patch - Astral Radiance (swsh10)

Dark Patch is a Trainer card from the Sword & Shield series, specifically the Astral Radiance set, released on May 27, 2022. Designed by artist Ryo Ueda, it is classified as an Uncommon rarity card. The card’s rules allow players to attach a basic Darkness Energy card from their discard pile to one of their Benched Darkness Pokémon, providing a strategic advantage during gameplay. Additionally, it permits the player to play any number of Item cards during their turn, enhancing flexibility in resource management. Unlike many Pokémon cards, Dark Patch does not specify HP, retreat costs, or weaknesses, focusing instead on its functional Trainer effect. Its absence of type designations and resistances aligns with its role as a support card rather than a combat unit. This card’s simplicity and direct utility make it a straightforward yet impactful addition to decks emphasizing tactical adaptability.
