An '''orphaned card''' is a card that has little or no practical use due to restrictions placed on the pool of legal cards by the {{cat|TCG tournament format|tournament format}}. These are often Evolution cards whose {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} or {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} are not available, though occasionally {{TCG|Trainer card}}s <!--and {{cat|Energy cards}}--> will fall into this category as well.
