Trainer cards can be split up into eight categories: Draw cards (Professor's Research, Acro Bike, etc.) Pokmon search (Quick Ball, Sonia, Brooklet Hill, etc.) Pokmon/Energy recovery (Ordinary Rod, Klara, etc.) Switching Cards (Switch, Air Balloon, Escape Rope, etc.) Gusting Cards (Boss's Orders, Escape Rope, Counter Catcher, etc.) Healing (Cheryl, Max Potion, etc.) Support (Metal Saucer, Rare Candy, Big Charm, etc.) Disruption (Galar Mine, Crushing Hammer, Jessie & James, etc.) (Some cards, such as Mallow & Lana, will fit into multiple categories in this case, Healing, and Switching) A format lacking substantially in one of these categories will create deck-building challenges and produce the potential for exploiting your opponent's lack of access to these cards
