Oracle Text

Card Details

Character Background
Repel is a clean tempo Trainer that fits best in disruption and control shells, where forcing the opponent to bench their Active Pokémon can break up favorable attacks, strand a damaged threat, or buy a turn to recover. Unlike a true gust effect, the opponent chooses the new Active, so its strength comes from pressure rather than precision: you are resetting their board state, not directly picking off a key target. That makes it especially useful alongside spread damage, poison, or effects that punish awkward promotions, since the new Active may already be softened. It also pairs well with chip-heavy attackers that can repeatedly force awkward switches and keep the opponent from stabilizing. In deckbuilding, pair Repel with cards that lock retreat or increase retreat costs, because the opponent’s choice becomes much worse when every Benched option is clunky. In short, Repel supports a tempo-first plan that aims to disrupt rhythm and convert small openings into sustained advantage.
