Collector Insights

Struggle Gloves is an Item card with a promo rarity, numbered 45, released as part of the Sword & Shield Promos set on November 1, 2019. Designed by artist Ryo Ueda, the card functions as an attachment that influences battle dynamics. Its flavor text describes a conditional effect: if the Pokémon it is attached to has Weakness to the opponent's Active Pokémon's type, its attacks deal 30 additional damage to that Active Pokémon before Weakness and Resistance adjustments. The card’s supertype categorizes it as an Item, emphasizing its role as a strategic tool rather than a direct combatant. It does not include traditional attack mechanics or health points, focusing instead on modifying existing battle interactions. The card’s unique ability ties directly to the Weakness mechanic, offering a meta-layered advantage in specific scenarios. As a promo card, it holds collectible value and is part of a limited release tied to the Sword & Shield set. This design highlights the interplay between Pokémon types and weaknesses within the TCG framework.

If the Pokémon this card is attached to has Weakness to your opponent's Active Pokémon's type, its attacks do 30 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
