A '''Trainer card''' (Japanese: トレーナーズ ''Trainer's'') is one of three main types of card found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], alongside [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon cards]] and [[#Energy card|Energy cards]]. While Pokémon cards do the direct [[#Attack|Attack]]ing of an opponent's cards and Energy cards power their attacks, Trainers provide a more supportive role, allowing a player to search through their [[#Deck|deck]], draw cards, or other special effects. During a player's [[#Turn|Turn]], he or she may play a Trainer card from his or her hand, follow its instructions, and then typically [[#Discard pile|discard it]].

The '''Item card''' (Japanese: グッズ ''Goods'')  is the main type of [[#Trainer card|Trainer card]]. It was the first to be introduced, and was the only type of Trainer card until [[#Supporter card|Supporter cards]] and [[#Stadium card|Stadium cards]] were split into their own categories in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} [[#Expansion|Expansion]] set. Unlike these two, Item cards have subtypes, and thus have a wide range of effects. The main subtype of Item card is {{DL|Trainer card (TCG)|Technical Machine}}s, which include one additional [[#Attack|Attack]] usable by the [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon]] the card is attached to. Prior to the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} Series, [[#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tools]] were also considered a subtype of Item cards. Other set-specific types, such as {{DL|Trainer card (TCG)|Goldenrod Game Corner}} and {{DL|Trainer card (TCG)|Rocket's Secret Machine}}, also exist. The {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} expansion introduced [[#Ace Spec|Ace Spec]] Trainer cards, really powerful cards with the drawback that there can only be one in a [[#Deck|deck]].
