#57 Ball Guy - Shining Fates (swsh45)

Ball Guy is a Trainer card from the Sword & Shield series, specifically featured in the Shining Fates set released on February 19, 2021. Designed by artist Hitoshi Ariga, this Uncommon rarity card serves as a Supporter-type Trainer with unique gameplay mechanics. Its primary function allows players to search their deck for up to three distinct Item cards containing the word "Ball" in their name, reveal them, and add them to their hand before shuffling the deck. Additionally, the card enforces a restriction limiting the player to using only one Supporter card during their turn. The card’s rules emphasize strategic deck management and resource control, aligning with the broader themes of the Sword & Shield expansion. As a Trainer card, it does not possess traditional Pokémon attributes like HP, types, or attacks, focusing instead on facilitating gameplay through its special abilities. The card’s regulation mark is labeled "D," indicating its classification within official tournament frameworks. Ball Guy offers players a means to diversify their hand and optimize their deck composition during critical moments in a match.
