#84 Buffer Piece - Arceus (pl4)

Buffer Piece is a Trainer card from the Platinum series, released as part of the Arceus set on November 4, 2009. Designed by artist Ryo Ueda, it is classified as an Uncommon rarity card. The card functions as a tool that attaches to one of the player's Pokémon without a Pokémon Tool already attached. When attached, it reduces damage dealt to the targeted Pokémon by 20 after accounting for Weakness and Resistance. The card must be discarded if the attached Pokémon is Knocked Out. Additionally, it is discarded at the end of the opponent's turn following its play. The card’s rules emphasize temporary protection and conditional removal, aligning with its role as a strategic support item. Its design and mechanics reflect the series’ focus on balancing utility with gameplay constraints.
