Attach Buffer Piece to 1 of your Pokémon that doesn't already have a Pokémon Tool attached to it. If that Pokémon is Knocked Out, discard this card. Damage done to the Pokémon Buffer Piece is attached to by an opponent's attack is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). At the end of your opponent's turn after you played Buffer Piece, discard Buffer Piece.
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Buffer Piece is a short-lived shield that fits best in tempo and value decks, where buying a single turn can matter more than long-term scaling. In play, it acts like a tactical buffer: attach it to a key attacker or evolving Pokémon to blunt an opponent’s swing by 20 damage, after Weakness and Resistance, then let it fall away at the end of the opponent’s turn. Because it disappears quickly and cannot stack with another Tool, it’s strongest when used to bridge a fragile board through a critical attack rather than as a permanent defensive plan. It pairs especially well with Pokémon that survive a hit at low numbers, turning certain KOs into near-misses and forcing inefficient follow-up attacks. Decks that aim to set up a strong midgame, or that rely on keeping one central attacker alive for a single extra turn, can use Buffer Piece to preserve tempo and deny prize trades.
