Billowing Smoke
Oracle Text
If the Pokémon this card is attached to is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon, that player discards any Prize cards they would take for that Knock Out instead of putting those cards into their hand.
Card Details
Character Background
Billowing Smoke is a deceptive little Trainer from Darkness Ablaze that rewards a patient, control-leaning game plan: it turns a knockout into a temporary setback for your opponent instead of a clean Prize swing, making every trade feel worse for them. On a Pokémon that is likely to be targeted down, it can blunt momentum and buy time for your board to stabilize, especially in decks that force awkward attacks or repeatedly promote bulky support Pokémon. It pairs well with strategies that preserve key pieces through healing, switching, or damage reduction, since the more often your opponent fails to take a Prize, the more you win the resource war. A strong deckbuilding tip is to attach it to something that your opponent must answer eventually but cannot easily one-shot through indirect effects, letting you punish overextension. In practice, Billowing Smoke shines in slower tempo shells that want to deny efficient Prize mapping rather than race.
