#83 Bench Shield - Arceus (pl4)
Bench Shield is a Trainer card from the Platinum series, released as part of the Arceus set on November 4, 2009. It is classified as a Trainer card and carries an Uncommon rarity. The card is designed to be attached to one of the player’s Pokémon that does not already have a Pokémon Tool attached. Once attached, it remains in place unless the host Pokémon is Knocked Out, in which case it is discarded. The card’s rules provide defensive functionality by preventing all damage done to the attached Pokémon while it resides on the Bench. This protection applies to both the player’s and the opponent’s attacks. The card’s design is attributed to artist Wataru Kawahara, and it is presented in English as part of the original release. Its strategic role revolves around safeguarding a Pokémon during gameplay through conditional attachment and damage prevention.
