'''Pokémon Tool cards''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのどうぐ''' ''Pokémon Tools'') are a subclass of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. Introduced in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion, Pokémon Tool cards were long considered a subclass of {{TCG|Item card}}s following their debut in the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion. Pokémon Tool depict held [[item]]s, typically from the [[Pokémon games]] such as the [[Exp. Share]] and [[Leftovers]], which a player can attach to a Benched or Active Pokémon to have some kind of effect on the game, and then discarded once removed from the Pokémon. Players are allowed to play as many Pokémon Tool cards as they wish during their turn.

With the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, Pokémon Tool cards were split into their own category of Trainer card, distinct from item cards and were given a purple rule box to distinguish the cards from the blue rule box found on item cards. All Pokémon Tool cards introduced in prior expansions were given an erratum reclassifying them as no longer being considered item cards. Cards that affect Item cards do not affect Pokémon Tool cards.

Much like how Supporter, Item and Stadium cards are color-coded as orange, blue and green, respectively, Pokémon Tool cards are color-coded as purple. Many Pokémon Tool cards have seen multiple releases and illustrations. There are currently {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon Tool cards}} - 1}} different {{cat|Pokémon Tool cards}}, though many have been printed multiple times with different artwork.

A Pokémon may only have one Pokémon Tool attached to it, with {{cat|Pokémon cards that can have multiple Pokémon Tools attached|some exceptions that allow many Pokémon Tools to be attached}}.
