Crystal Shard is a Pokémon TCG card from the Split Earth set, released on August 1, 2002. Designed by artist Jungo Suzuki, it is classified as a Pokémon with a rarity of Uncommon and card number 81. The card’s flavor text describes a scenario where attaching it to a Pokémon temporarily changes that Pokémon’s type to Colorless, while also triggering an action to discard the card after the attached Pokémon attacks. It does not include any listed attacks or health points, and its specific mechanics are defined through the attached condition and the resulting discard effect. The card’s Japanese language edition is part of the broader Pokémon TCG collection, reflecting its role in the game’s historical context. Its unique interaction hinges on the timing of the attached Pokémon’s attack, ensuring the card’s effect is temporary and conditional. This design emphasizes strategic use during gameplay, aligning with the card’s thematic focus on conditional transformation and removal.

As long as this card is attached to a Pokémon, that Pokémon's type (color) is Colorless. If that Pokémon attacks, discard this card at the end of the turn.
