Oracle Text
The Basic Pokémon this card is attached to gets +50 HP, except Pokémon-GX.
Card Details
Character Background
Cape of Toughness is a clean, no-frills durability tool that best supports midrange and tempo strategies, especially decks built around Basic Pokémon that want to stay on board long enough to trade efficiently. In Darkness Ablaze, its appeal is simple: +50 HP can turn a fragile opener into a real threat, forcing the opponent to spend extra resources and often upsetting key prize math. It is especially strong on Basics with already solid attacks or on deck staples that need to survive one more hit before evolving or setting up. A good deckbuilding tip is to pair it with other defensive pieces like healing cards or switching effects, creating a bulky pivot that can absorb pressure while your main attacker gets ready. Just note the GX exclusion matters, so it shines most in non-GX Basic-centric builds where raw staying power translates directly into tempo advantage.
