What does resistance do in Pokemon cards?
Resistance in Pokemon TCG is like having an armor against specific types of attacks. If your Pokemon card has resistance to another type, it means it'll take less damage from attacks of that type. Super handy in battles to reduce the damage your Pokemon takes!

Resistance? Barely notice it. Most of the time, the game's about hitting hard and fast. Sure, it reduces damage, but who needs defense when you're all about the offense, right?
Just think of it as your Pokemon wearing an invisible shield against certain attacks. Resistance means they shrug off some of the damage that would normally hit harder. Less damage = longer survival in the game.
Been playing Pokemon TCG for ages and here's the deal: Resistance can be a game changer. It subtracts damage from attacks of a certain type. So, if you're up against a type your Pokemon resists, you've got an edge. It's saved my skin more times than I can count.
