Collector Insights

Rock Guard is an Item card from the Spiral Force set, released on December 14, 2012. It is classified as a Rare card with the number 50 and was illustrated by 5ban Graphics. The card’s flavor text describes a defensive mechanism where, if the Pokémon it is attached to becomes the Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent’s attack—regardless of whether it remains standing—6 damage counters are placed on the attacking Pokémon. This ability emphasizes a protective role tied to the interaction between attached and attacking Pokémon. The card’s design and mechanics align with the themes of strategic defense and counterplay common in the Pokémon TCG. Its rarity and set placement suggest it was intended for competitive play or specific deck-building scenarios. The absence of listed attacks and HP values indicates it functions primarily as a support card rather than a direct attacker. Overall, Rock Guard provides a unique way to influence battle dynamics through damage redirection.

If the Pokémon this card is attached to is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if the Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 6 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.
