#145 Parallel City - BREAKthrough (xy8)

Parallel City is a Trainer card from the XY series, included in the BREAKthrough set released on November 4, 2015. Designed by 5ban Graphics, it holds a Uncommon rarity and functions as a Stadium card with unique rules. When played, the player must choose its orientation beforehand, and it enforces a limit of three Benched Pokémon for the player, discarding excess Benched Pokémon upon entry. Additionally, any damage dealt by Grass, Fire, or Water Pokémon under this card’s control is reduced by 20 before Weakness and Resistance adjustments. The card remains in play unless another Stadium card is also active, and duplicates cannot be played if another card with the same name is already in use. Its rules emphasize strategic control over the battlefield and resource management. The card’s design reflects its role in modifying gameplay dynamics through conditional effects.
