Path to the Peak

Don't understand the Trainer card: "Path to the Peak". It says "Pokemon with a Rule Box...". What is a "Rule Box"? I assume the "Ability" being referred to is the Ability text/clause on the card. Correct? Thank you for any help.

    Hey @Kodiak959!

    Rule Box refers to the section on Pokemon EX, GX, V etc that says the opponent takes more than one prize card from knocking them out. It also refers to the section on Radiant Pokemon that says you can only play a single Radiant mon in a deck.

    A more clear way of looking at it, and what it really means, is any box on a card with the word "rule" in the title of the box.


    Here's a complete list of types of cards with a rule box through Scarlet and Violet:


    Pokemon-EX

    Pokemon BREAK

    Pokemon-GX

    Prism Star (including the Trainer cards)

    Pokemon V

    Radiant Pokemon

    Pokemon ex


    Note that nothing before Black and White has a rule box, but that obviously never comes up.
