In the TCG


Assault Vest was introduced as an TCG Pokémon Tool card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the Japanese XY BREAK Era. It was first released in the Japanese TCG Red Flash expansion before debuting in English in the TCG BREAKthrough expansion. When this TCG Pokémon Tool card is attached to a Pokémon, any damage done to that Pokémon by attacks from an opponent's Pokémon that have any Special Energy attached to them is reduced by 40 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
