|title=Barrier Swap |types= |cards=Erikas's Dratini, Alakazam, Chansey }} "Barrier Swap" is a Pokémon Trading Card Game deck archetype that is centered around the cards Erikas's Dratini and Alakazam. It focuses on getting Chansey and Alakazam on your bench, while making Erikas's Dratini your active Pokémon.

Cards

• Alakazam's Pokémon Power, "Damage Swap," allows a player to move a damage counter on one of their Pokémon to another.
• Erikas's Dratini's Pokémon Power, "Strange Barrier," ensures that it only takes 10 damage for each time it is attacked.
• Chansey is typically never used as an active Pokémon, but rather sits on the player's bench, having all Erikas's Dratini's damage counters Damage Swapped to it.
• Erika's Oddish ideally starts off the game to poison the opponent's Pokémon, so they willl slowly take damage throughout the game.
• All the commonly used trainers of that format are in this deck to help it burn through cards faster and root out the Pokémon it needs, such as Bill.
