A '''Pokémon Power''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特殊能力|とくしゅのうりょく}}''' ''special ability'') is a special Ability held by some Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
A '''Pokémon Power''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特殊能力|とくしゅのうりょく}}''' ''special ability'') is a special ability held by some Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].


Typically, Pokémon Powers are additional effects that the card's player can trigger once or multiple times during their turn, before they attack. However, before the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, some cards, such as {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}, had Pokémon Powers that were always active. For example, all {{TCG|Energy card}}s attached to Charizard provided {{TCG|Fire Energy}} at all times. The player did not have to announce that they were using the power or do anything to trigger it, as it was always active.
Prior to the release of {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were typically additional effects that the card's player could trigger once or multiple times during their [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Turn|turn]], before they {{TCG|attack}}. However, some cards, such as {{TCG|Jungle}} {{TCG ID|Jungle|Dodrio|34}}, have Pokémon Powers that the player does not have to trigger or announce. For example, as long as Dodrio is [[Benched Pokémon|Benched]], the player's [[Active Pokémon]] has their [[retreat cost]] lowered by 1. Many Pokémon Powers have a clause saying that they can not be activated or stop working if the Pokémon with the Pokémon Power has a {{TCG|Special Condition}}.


After the release of Expedition, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers (Japanese: '''ポケパワー''' ''Poké-Power'') and Poké-Bodies (Japanese: '''ポケボディー''' ''Poké-Body''). Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is one that is in effect regardless. The player does not need to announce the use of a Poké-Body, since it is always active. In essence, a Poké-Power's effect is not always active, while a Poké-Body's effect is.

The player does not need to announce the use of a Poké-Body, since it is always active. In essence, a Poké-Power's effect is not always active, while a Poké-Body's effect is.  The majority of Poké-Powers continue to be disabled by Special Conditions. However, Poké-Bodies are generally exempt from this.


With the release of {{TCG|Black & White}}, Pokémon Powers were combined into one mechanic once again and renamed [[Ability (TCG)|Abilities]] (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''special characteristic''), after the [[Ability|analogous element]] in the main series games.
With the release of {{TCG|Black & White}}, Pokémon Powers were combined into one mechanic once again and renamed [[Ability (TCG)|Abilities]] (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''special characteristic''), after the [[Ability|analogous element]] in the core series games. Abilities are not disabled by Special Conditions at all.


With the release of {{TCG|Evolutions}}, a commemorative expansion created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the [[TCG]], a new card with a Pokémon Power was printed: {{TCG ID|Evolutions|Imakuni?'s Doduo|112}}
With the release of {{TCG|Evolutions}}, a commemorative expansion created to celebrate [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary|Pokémon's 20th Anniversary]], a new card with a Pokémon Power was printed: {{TCG ID|Evolutions|Imakuni?'s Doduo|112}}. Similarly, two {{TCG|SWSH Black Star Promos}}, [[Greninja ☆ (SWSH Promo 144)|Greninja]] {{Star}} and {{TCG ID|SWSH Promo|Zacian LV.X|135}}, were released for [[Pokémon 25th Anniversary|Pokémon's 25th Anniversary]] and respectively featured a Poké-Power and Poké-Body. Outside reprints included in sets such as {{TCG|Celebrations}} and {{TCG|Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic}}, these are the only instances of the Pokémon Power mechanic since its replacement in Black & White.
 
When Zacian LV.X was released, the description of the {{DL|Sword & Shield TCG Series merchandise|Celebrations Deluxe Pin Collection}} described a Poké-Body as "like an old-school Ability". <ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/celebrations-deluxe-pin-collection Product Gallery], Pokémon.com</ref>

A Pokémon Power (Japanese: 特殊能力 special ability) is a special ability held by some Pokémon in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Prior to the release of Expedition Base Set, Pokémon Powers were typically additional effects that the card's player could trigger once or multiple times during their turn, before they attack. However, some cards, such as Jungle Dodrio, have Pokémon Powers that the player does not have to trigger or announce. For example, as long as Dodrio is Benched, the player's Active Pokémon has their retreat cost lowered by 1. Many Pokémon Powers have a clause saying that they can not be activated or stop working if the Pokémon with the Pokémon Power has a Special Condition.

After the release of Expedition, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers (Japanese: ポケパワー Poké-Power) and Poké-Bodies (Japanese: ポケボディー Poké-Body). Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is one that is in effect regardless. The player does not need to announce the use of a Poké-Body, since it is always active. In essence, a Poké-Power's effect is not always active, while a Poké-Body's effect is. The majority of Poké-Powers continue to be disabled by Special Conditions. However, Poké-Bodies are generally exempt from this.

With the release of Black & White, Pokémon Powers were combined into one mechanic once again and renamed Abilities (Japanese: 特性 special characteristic), after the analogous element in the core series games. Abilities are not disabled by Special Conditions at all.

With the release of Evolutions, a commemorative expansion created to celebrate Pokémon's 20th Anniversary, a new card with a Pokémon Power was printed: Imakuni?'s Doduo. Similarly, two SWSH Black Star Promos, Greninja Star and Zacian LV.X, were released for Pokémon's 25th Anniversary and respectively featured a Poké-Power and Poké-Body. Outside reprints included in sets such as Celebrations and Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic, these are the only instances of the Pokémon Power mechanic since its replacement in Black & White.

When Zacian LV.X was released, the description of the Celebrations Deluxe Pin Collection described a Poké-Body as "like an old-school Ability". [1]
