Bench Shield
Trainer › Pokémon Tool

As long as the Pokémon this card is attached to is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to that Pokémon by attacks (both yours and your opponent’s).

· Pokémon Tool rule: Attach Bench Shield to 1 of your Pokémon that doesn’t already have a Pokémon Tool attached to it. If that Pokémon is Knocked Out, discard this card.

    This can be very helpful in preventing your opponent from shutting down your support,and it can do a lot of harm to an enemy’s strategy in unlimited, sometimes shutting down entire strategies if attached to multiple pokemon on your bench

      I know this is an old comment, but something like lysandre or guzma (or any gusting card) really makes this tool less useful

        but unlimited is broken af. it’s impossible that any way to block damage won’t have a workaround

          You’re right, but I think a good investment would be Stealthy Hood (unless poke-powers don’t count as abilities)

            unfortunately they don’t. Pokemon Power count as both Poke-power and Poke-body, but abilities are a whole different thing.

    Are there any other cards that feature the shinx line like this?

      Not in the Gen 4 Trainers at least, unless there’s some Japanese alt art that I’m not aware of. Whole lot of Piplup and Pachirisu though!
      Doesn’t seem to appear as a background pokemon in any Sinnoh-themed sets either, but I didn’t check them that thoroughly and could’ve missed something.
