Pokémon Trading Card Game Ruffian

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game Supporter card, Ruffian, embodies a thuggish, disruptive strategy. The artwork by Hideki Ishikawa captures a mischievous and troublesome character ready to sabotage an opponent’s carefully laid plans.

This Supporter card is a potent source of disruption. When played, you “Discard a Pokémon Tool and a Special Energy from 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon.” This can remove crucial, often hard-to-replace resources like powerful Tools (e.g., Choice Belts, Capsules) and impactful Special Energies, potentially disabling a key attacker or stalling your opponent’s momentum entirely.

As a Supporter card, remember you may play only one during your turn. Ruffian is a highly effective tactical card for control and disruption decks, allowing you to directly attack your opponent’s resource base and gain a significant advantage by dismantling their synergies.
