Tropical Wind is a Trainer card. It was first released as a Japanese Unnumbered Promotional card and has been printed several times in English, as part of the Nintendo Black Star Promos set and the DP Black Star Promos set.
Card text
| Flip a coin. If heads, remove 2 damage counters from each Active Pokémon (remove 1 damage counter if a Pokémon has only 1). If tails, each Active Pokémon is now Asleep. |
Release information
- This card was first released in Japanese as a participation prize in the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament. It was reprinted in Japanese with updated Generation II artwork by the same artist on e-card stock for the 2001 Tropical Mega Battle tournament in the unofficial English Tyranitar Half Deck. This print is named Tropical Breeze and features the new baby Pokémon Cleffa and Smoochum, as well as the Tropical Mega Battle mascot Exeggutor.
- The first English version of the card was featured in the Nintendo Black Star Promos collection, with updated Generation III art by the same artist. The print features the Generation III starters. A seven-card commemorative set, which consisted of the same card in English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portugese and Italian was given to participating players at Worlds 2004. Stamped versions were also awarded to players who ranked consistently high in the tournament. This trend has been applied for every Worlds promo released since.
- It was later reprinted with updated Generation IV art by the same artist as a DP Black Star Promo and given to participants at Worlds 2007. This print features the Generation IV starters.
- It was reprinted for Worlds 2008 with art by the same artist and features Buneary, Pachirisu and Croagunk. This is perhaps a reference to their appearence in the anime.
- It was reprinted for Worlds 2009 with art by the same artist and features Bidoof, Weavile and Shaymin Sky Forme. Shaymin is perhaps a reference to Pokémon Platinum, wheras Weavile was the Pokémon available for download that year.

Trivia
- Every version of the card features a Psyduck in a hammock, sharing it or often being disturbed by Pokémon that are relative to the generation the card was released in.
- The Worlds 2004 promotional card is the only card to have a spectator version (i.e. with no stamp); those produced in 2005 onwards all have stamps.
- The Worlds 2004 top ranking stamp versions were only awarded to the top 16 players. This was increased to the top 32 players starting at Worlds 2005.
