Engine (TCG): Difference between revisions

An '''engine''' in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is a player-made term used to refer to a card or a series of cards that, when played, greatly increase a player's drawing or searching speed, thus helping them burn through their deck faster.  The most famous and effective engine is probably the infamous {{TCG|Holon Engine}}, which consists entirely of Trainer and Supporter cards.  However, while engines are often centered around trainer cards, some engines are centered around Pokémon cards.  If an engine is based around a Pokémon card(s), though, the Pokémon will generally sit on a player's bench and utilize its [[Pokémon Power|Poké-Power]]. Some cards could be considered engines by themselves, such as {{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Delcatty|8}}. In essence, the power of an engine is its drawing or searching ability.
