Switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.
Card Details
Character Background
Switch is one of Base Set’s simplest but most quietly powerful Trainer cards, and it fits best in tempo-oriented decks that want to keep attacking without losing momentum. By moving a Benched Pokémon into the Active spot, you can rescue a damaged attacker, reset a weak starter, or promote a better match-up before the opponent gets a free prize lead. It is especially strong in decks that rely on “hit-and-run” style sequencing, where a fresh attacker steps in after the current one has done its job. A practical deckbuilding tip is to pair Switch with Pokémon that have useful Bench-based setup turns or retreat-heavy basics, since it helps you avoid wasting Energy on Retreat costs. It also has natural synergy with evolving lines, letting you bench a Stage 1 or Stage 2 safely and then bring it forward exactly when needed.
