Pokémon Tools depict [[held item]]s, typically from the [[Pokémon games]] such as the [[Exp. Share]] and [[Leftovers]].

(In the Japanese TCG, during the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game#LEGEND era|LEGEND era]], Trainer cards that were not [[Supporter card]]s or [[Stadium card]]s were considered Items. However, no Pokémon Tools were printed in the LEGEND era, so this classification only applied when interacting with older cards.) | ||

This errata means that cards that affected Item cards no longer affect Pokémon Tool cards. Further signifying the division between Pokémon Tool cards and Item cards, Pokémon Tool cards as of the Scarlet & Violet Series are given a distinct purple color code on their card type name and infobox. There are currently {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon Tool cards}} - 1}} different {{cat|Pokémon Tool cards}}, although many have seen multiple rereleases with different illustrations. | ||
Pokémon Tool cards are played by attaching them to a Pokémon. Once a player attaches a Pokémon Tool to a Pokémon, they may not remove the Pokémon Tool unless with the effects of certain cards or if the Pokémon Tool has a clause allowing it to be removed; removed Pokémon Tools are typically discarded. Pokémon Tools typically provide a positive effect to the Pokémon it is attached to as long as they remain attached. Players are allowed to play as many Pokémon Tool cards from their [[hand]] as they wish during their turn. However, each Pokémon can only have one Pokémon Tool attached to it. There are {{cat|Pokémon cards that can have multiple Pokémon Tools attached|some exceptions that allow more than Pokémon Tool to be attached to a Pokémon}}. One such exception is the [[Ancient Trait]] "θ Double" from the {{TCG|Ancient Origins}} set. | Pokémon Tool cards are played by attaching them to a Pokémon.
