Main article: Revive (Base Set 89)

Revive was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the Base Set expansion with artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi. It was reprinted in the Japanese Nivi City Gym Theme Deck. It was later released as an Item card in the Black & White expansion with new artwork by 5ban Graphics, first released in the Japanese White Collection expansion. This print was later reprinted in the Japanese Battle Theme Deck: Victini, and the Master Deck Build Box EX, released on September 14, 2012. During the XY Series, it was reprinted with new artwork by Toyste Beach in the Roaring Skies expansion, first released in the Japanese Emerald Break expansion. It was reprinted as a retro card in the Evolutions expansion, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary subset, featuring the same artwork as the original print and an updated card template reminiscent of the Original Series layout.

In the Base Set and Nivi City Gym prints, this Trainer card allows the player to put one Basic Pokémon card from the their discard pile onto their Bench. The player must then put damage counters on that Pokémon equal to half its HP, rounded down. In the Black & White and XY series prints, the card was changed to remove the damage counter addition from the effect.
