In the TCG, Technical Machines are types of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s that are attached to Pokémon in play. The majority of them can only be attached to Pokémon of a specific {{TCG|type}} or those that include an {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon|owner}} in their name. Each card provides an {{TCG|attack}} that can be used in addition to any attacks featured on the Pokémon it is attached to. In most cases, a player is required to discard a Technical Machine card at the end of the turn they played it. Unlike the games, they do not follow any specific numbering. After the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion, Technical Machine cards were retired in favor of {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s that provide additional attacks. None of these Pokémon Tool cards would feature "Technical Machine" in their name until the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion in the Scarlet & Violet Series (in Japan the {{TCG|Raging Surf}} subset in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet Era}}), over 14 years since the last Technical Machine card. | In the TCG, Technical Machines are types of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s that are attached to Pokémon in play.
