Trump Card (Japanese: きりふだ Trump Card) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Trump Card doesn't have a standard power; rather, it inflicts greater damage when Trump Card's PP is lower. Trump Card's power is calculated as follows:

Remaining PP Base Power
5+ 40
4 50
3 60
2 80
1 200


When Trump Card is chosen by a random move generator such as Metronome or Assist, it will instead use the PP of that move with the same chart applying.
