Attach Buffer Piece 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. Damage done to the Pokémon Buffer Piece is attached to by an opponent's attack is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Authentication Notes
The font styles, set icon placement, and copyright year (2006) are consistent with authentic prints from the EX Dragon Frontiers era. The rosette pattern visible on the zoomed-in portion of the yellow border appears authentic to standard print runs.
