#188 Pokémon Breeder's Nurturing - Darkness Ablaze (swsh3)

Pokémon Breeder's Nurturing is a Trainer card from the Sword & Shield series, part of the Darkness Ablaze set released on August 14, 2020. Designed by artist kirisaKi, it carries a Rare Ultra rarity and is marked with regulation code D, numbered 188 in the set. As a Trainer-type card, it functions as a Supporter, allowing players to perform specific actions during their turn. The card’s rules state that it can be played only once per turn, with additional restrictions preventing its use during the first turn or on Pokémon that entered play in the current turn. Its primary effect enables the player to select up to two of their active Pokémon, search their deck for evolution cards matching those Pokémon, and evolve them. After evolving, the player must shuffle their deck, ensuring the action remains balanced within gameplay. This card emphasizes strategic resource management by linking deck composition to evolving Pokémon, offering a unique mechanic for deck-building.
