Collector Insights

Bursting Balloon is an Item-type card from the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Deck Build Boxes set, released on February 16, 2018. Its artist is Toyste Beach. The card’s flavor text describes two conditional effects: if attached to one of the player’s Pokémon, it is discarded at the end of the opponent’s turn. Additionally, if the Pokémon it is attached to becomes the Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent’s attack—regardless of whether that Pokémon is Knocked Out—six damage counters are placed on the Attacking Pokémon. The card has no listed HP value or rarity. It features a unique interaction that ties its functionality to the status of the Pokémon it is connected to. The mechanics emphasize defensive and retaliatory strategies within gameplay. The card’s design and effects are consistent with the themes of the set it belongs to.

If this card is attached to 1 of your Pokémon, discard it at the end of your opponents turn. If the Pokémon this card is attached to is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponents attack (even if that Pokémon is Knocked Out), put 6 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.
