#38 Switch - Kalos Starter Set (xy0)

Switch is a Trainer card from the XY series, included in the Kalos Starter Set released on November 8, 2013. Designed by 5ban Graphics, it serves as a strategic tool for players during gameplay. The card’s rules allow players to switch their Active Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon, providing flexibility in battle positioning. Additionally, it permits the use of multiple Item cards during a player’s turn before initiating an attack. Notably, it lacks traditional Pokémon attributes such as types, attacks, resistances, or weaknesses. The card’s absence of retreat costs and HP values aligns with its Trainer classification. Its functionality emphasizes tactical maneuvering over direct combat mechanics. This card remains a unique addition to the Kalos Starter Set, offering distinct gameplay advantages through its rule-based interactions.
