Attach Charity to your Active Pokémon. Unless that Pokémon gets Knocked Out, return Charity to your hand at the end of your turn. If that Pokémon attacks and does damage to the Defending Pokémon, you may reduce that damage by any amount (rounded to the nearest 10).

Wouldn’t be too bad this format because of Outrage.

The only time I could see why you’d want to do this is if you want Poison to KO your opponent’s Pokemon so certain effects wouldn’t work.

Charity was a Mr. Mime Jungle counter for decks that had no viable attackers that could hit for less than 20.

Obviously, you’re supposed to use this card to trick your opponent into letting his guard down. He’ll feel bad for you, inviting you into his home to stay for the night, and when he’s asleep you can stab him in the back with Geodude (Fossil 47)’s Stone Barrage attack for over 9000 damage.
I’ve never actually done it myself, but it seems like a reasonable strategy.

Someone give this man money.

I can’t, I need that money to get my 36,894 Mewtwo EX’s.

1. Learn to make things out of paper
2. Construct pants and shirt entirely out of Mewtwo EX Cards.
3. Go to a tournament.
4. ????
5. Profit!

Stall deck anyone?
linkinboss
Ha, that reminds me that once I got in a match with an opponent with 3 serperior (each compulsory remove 1 counter from each of your pokemon each turn), and with no other switching cards remaining. I had more cards on my deck so I effectively got to stall them for game lol.

What if you used this in an Unlimited deck with Accelgor DEX? You could control where your Deck and Cover loop ends every time.

People seem to think Mr. Mine was the only good you’d ever get out of this card. But Gold Berries were very popular when they first came out. In fact most people used them exclusive as their means of healing. They did have a big downside though, they only activated when the Pokemon they were attached to had taken at least 40 damage. Charity was a great way of sneaking under them.
Let’s say the defending Pokemon has 90 health and a Gold Berry, and your active Pokemon does 60, normally you’d two shot them, but now you’re looking at a three turns to knock it out now, which is an extra turn for it to retaliate. But with charity you can reduce your attack to 30, them hit then hit full power next turn, wasting your opponent Pokemon and their trainer card. Also since charity returns to your hand, you can reuse a single one indefinitely. You could even attach it to your active Pokemon, an then use something like Professor Elm or Cleffa, and when you get it back next turn you’d now have nine cards in you hand to work with, great for things require discarding like Item Finder or Computer Search.

Thanks for explaining this! I never knew the purpose of Charity.

I can also see a strategy where you trap a harmless pokémon in the active with Surge’s Fearow or Sabrina’s Gastly. Paired with Dark Vileplume could be a way to deck out your opponent. Also with Dark Vileplume, it could be used with Hyperbeam type attacks to strand a pokemon with high energy requirement in the active

Charity gets returned to your hand at the end of your turn; you couldn’t re-attach it under Dark Vileplume.

Can someone explain how this card works to me in layperson’s terms

There are two parts of the card.
(1) Think of it like “MinusPower”. You can attach PlusPower to a Pokemon to let it do +10 damage, and you can attach Charity to a Pokemon to let it do -10 damage. (This card was made to help some cards be able to attack Jungle Mr. Mime)
(2) PlusPower is automatically discarded at the end of your turn. But Charity can go back to your hand as long as the Pokemon you attached it to isn’t knocked out by the end of your opponent’s next turn. (This could be useful if the Pokémon you attached it to was sent to the bench by Gust of Wind or another card. Charity goes back to your hand so you can decide if you’d like to attach it to someone else instead, or save it for later.)

Actually, there are some more uses than only Mr Mime. If you are attacking a Pokemon with Rage you do not always want to do a lot of damage. Another example could be Base Set Gastly that has used Destiny Bond. If you use Erika’s Gloom’s Magic Pollen, Gastly is knocked out, and Erika’s Gloom is also going to be knocked out. But if you use Magic Pollen with Charity attached then you can poison Gastly and knock it out, but Erika’s Gloom will not be knocked out too.
