What damage dice are for

In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, you track damage in steps of 10. Officially this is done with paper damage counters, but those blow away, stick to your fingers, and get lost. A die next to your Pokémon does the same job at a glance: you turn it to the number of tens of damage shown. Fast, and simply allowed at tournaments.

Where these come from

These dice originally came in an Elite Trainer Box — the big box with boosters, sleeves, energy cards, and accessories. Anyone buying that kind of box is usually after the cards and the sleeves, so the rest gets left behind. Every Elite Trainer Box has its own colors and artwork, so if you're collecting or matching a specific set, this loose set is exactly what's missing.

About Pokémon GO

The Pokémon GO set from 2022 translated the mobile game onto cards: Pokémon in their GO poses, with the catch circle around the artwork. It was one of the best-selling sets of that year, partly because players who only played GO recognized something in it for the first time.

You'll also find the Japanese Charizard sleeves from the same period and the dice from Phantasmal Flames.
