Collector Insights

Hex Maniac is a Supporter card from the The Best of XY set, released on April 21, 2017. It is numbered 181 and illustrated by artist You Iribi. The card’s flavor text describes a scenario where, until the end of the opponent’s next turn, all Pokémon in play, in each player’s hand, and in each player’s discard pile lose their Abilities. This effect applies to cards that enter play during that turn as well. The card’s design and theme emphasize strategic disruption through temporary removal of abilities. It belongs to the Supporter supertype, a category known for providing game-altering effects during turns. The card’s absence of attack details and HP value aligns with its role as a non-combatant Supporter. Its inclusion in the set highlights its thematic relevance to the XY series’ narrative. The card’s impact is defined by its ability to alter gameplay dynamics without direct combat engagement.

Until the end of your opponent's next turn, each Pokémon in play, in each player's hand, and in each player's discard pile has no Abilities. (This includes cards that come into play on that turn.)
