Pokémon Tool cards (Japanese: ポケモンのどうぐ Pokémon Tools) are a subclass of Trainer cards. Introduced in the Neo Genesis expansion, Pokémon Tool cards were long considered a subclass of Item cards following their debut in the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion. Pokémon Tool depict held items, typically from the Pokémon games such as the Exp. Share and Leftovers, which a player can attach to a Benched or Active Pokémon to have some kind of effect on the game, and then discarded once removed from the Pokémon. Players are allowed to play as many Pokémon Tool cards as they wish during their turn.
With the Scarlet & Violet expansion, Pokémon Tool cards were split into their own category of Trainer card, distinct from item cards and were given a purple rule box to distinguish the cards from the blue rule box found on item cards. All Pokémon Tool cards introduced in prior expansions were given an erratum reclassifying them as no longer being considered item cards. Cards that affect Item cards do not affect Pokémon Tool cards.
Much like how Supporter, Item and Stadium cards are color-coded as orange, blue and green, respectively, Pokémon Tool cards are color-coded as purple. Many Pokémon Tool cards have seen multiple releases and illustrations. There are currently 229 different Pokémon Tool cards, though many have been printed multiple times with different artwork.
