A Pokémon Power is a special ability held by some Pokémon in the Pokémon TCG.

Much like the abilities in the main series of games, Pokémon Powers are used in addition to moves. For example, Charizard of the Base Set has the Pokémon Power Energy Burn, which changes all Energy attached to the card into Fire Energy.

In Expedition and sets released beyond, they were split into Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. By rule, all effects that target older Pokémon Powers also affect Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies, all effects that target Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies also affect older Pokémon Powers, and any effects that target only Poké-Powers or only Poké-Bodies do not effect older Pokémon Powers. Typically, Poké-Powers are used once per turn, while Poké-Bodies are always active.
