Emergency Jelly
OK, look, you’re likely not going to see this new Item card appearing in anyone else’s Silver Tempest lists. It’s a neat card, don’t get me wrong, and it’s got me out of some scrapes playing TCG already: It allows you to heal 120 damage from a Pokémon if its HP drops to 30 or lower, which is a great Hail Mary. It’s just…as a card, it’s pretty ordinary.
However, and very importantly, it’s called Emergency Jelly. And that’s a very funny name.
Impressively, it’s funny no matter how you parse the word, whether the (incorrect) U.S. use as a word for a preserve or jam, or the (correct) UK use as the wobbly translucent children’s dessert. Either is an incredibly silly thing to need in an emergency, and the idea never fails to make me smile. Even more when I decide it’s made out of Duosion.
