Rocky Helmet

Rocky Helmet was introduced as a Pokémon Tool card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) in the Noble Victories expansion. It was reprinted as both a Regular and an Ultra-Rare Secret card in the English Boundaries Crossed expansion. When this Trainer card is attached to the player's Active Pokémon, if an opponent deals damage to that Pokémon, the player can put two damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.
