Collector Insights

Rugged Helmet is an Item card from the Starter Deck 100 set, released on December 17, 2021. Designed by artist sadaji, this card functions as a support tool during battles. Its flavor text describes a strategic interaction where damage to a Pokémon in the Active Spot triggers an effect. When the attached Pokémon is damaged by an opponent's attack, even if it is Knocked Out, the card's ability activates. It compels the opponent to discard an Energy attached to their attacking Pokémon. This mechanic emphasizes resource management and tactical disruption. The card's unique role revolves around manipulating Energy distribution during combat. As part of the Starter Deck 100, it is included in Japanese-language products. Its absence of attacks highlights its auxiliary function in gameplay.

If the Pokémon this card is attached to is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if it is Knocked Out), put an Energy attached to the Attacking Pokémon into your opponent's hand.
