Trump Card is a Normal-type move with variable power and perfect accuracy (100%). The power of Trump Card increases as the user's remaining PP (Power Points) decreases: 200 power with 1 PP left, 80 with 2 PP, 60 with 3 PP, 50 with 4 PP, and 40 with 5 or more PP. This makes it a unique strategic move, gaining strength when nearly depleted. Trump Card does not have any additional effects like status infliction or secondary damage, but its ability to become exceedingly powerful under low PP conditions makes it an intriguing choice for certain battle strategies. It's worth noting that few Pokémon can learn Trump Card, adding to its exclusivity and tactical use in battles.
