#161 Phoebe - Battle Styles (swsh5)
Phoebe is a Trainer card from the Sword & Shield series, part of the Battle Styles set released on March 19, 2021. Designed by artist Kagemaru Himeno, it carries a Rare Ultra rarity and is marked with regulation symbol E. The card functions as a Supporter, imposing specific game rules during play. It prohibits the player from using more than one Supporter card per turn, limiting strategic flexibility. Additionally, it grants an effect where damage from the player’s Pokémon VMAX attacks bypasses any resistance or status alterations on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. This unique interaction enhances the card’s tactical relevance within battles. The card’s absence of traditional Pokémon attributes like types, weaknesses, or retreat costs reflects its specialized role as a Trainer. Its design emphasizes rule modification rather than direct combat engagement, aligning with the broader mechanics of the Sword & Shield expansion.
