<\/p>\n
Name: The name of the Pok\u00e9mon<\/p>\n
Power points: The Pok\u00e9mon’s HP<\/p>\n
Type: What type the Pok\u00e9mon is. In contrast to the video games, however, there are fewer types (Ice Pok\u00e9mon are usually Water Pok\u00e9mon, for example) <\/p>\n
Evolution Level: The level of the Pok\u00e9mon. Level 1 Pok\u00e9mon can be evolved from basic Pok\u00e9mon, etc. <\/p>\n
Ability: Some Pok\u00e9mon have passive abilities or abilities that can be activated once per turn<\/p>\n
Attack cost: The number of Energy cards that must be attached to the Pok\u00e9mon for an attack (in this example, that would be one Metal Energy and any two).<\/p>\n
Attack Damage: The damage dealt to the opposing Trainer’s defending Pok\u00e9mon<\/p>\n
Retreat Cost: The amount of Energy the Pok\u00e9mon must put into the discard pile to be retired from the active spot.<\/p>\n
Resistance: When the Pok\u00e9mon is attacked by an attacking Pok\u00e9mon of this type, it takes that much less damage.<\/p>\n
Weakness: Damage inflicted by a Pok\u00e9mon of this type is doubled<\/p>\n
Set: The set the card is from (=display, e.g. Kampfstile, Gl\u00e4nzendes Schicksal)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Energy cards<\/strong><\/p>\n An Energy card can be manually applied to a Pok\u00e9mon from the hand once per turn. However, there are also abilities on Pok\u00e9mon, such as Rain Dance, which allow multiple energies to be applied to Pok\u00e9mon per turn. <\/p>\n With the energy cards <\/span><\/strong>Pok\u00e9mon can launch their attack as long as the cost is met. Colorless Energy can be covered by any type of Energy. There are also special energies, e.g. the Double Colorless Energy, which provides two Colorless Energies with one attack. This has proven to be very powerful in the past with certain Pok\u00e9mon such as Zoroark GX <\/p>\n Many attacks require certain combinations of energy cards. It therefore makes sense to build a deck around 1-2 types if possible. <\/p>\n Special energy cards such as Double Colorless Energy may only be included four times in the deck. Basic energy cards, on the other hand, can be played any number of times. In the very strong tournament decks, an average of approx. 8-12 energies are played, depending on the winning strategy of the deck. <\/p>\n Item cards<\/strong><\/p>\n Item cards belong to the trainer cards. A deck may contain a total of four of each trainer card. As many items as the player wishes can be played per turn. These cards often have abilities that heal your Pok\u00e9mon, strengthen them or search for Pok\u00e9mon from the deck. <\/p>\n Supporter cards<\/strong><\/p>\n These cards may only be activated once per turn. Accordingly, they also have much stronger effects than the Item cards. For example, these cards can often draw many cards from the deck or swap Pok\u00e9mon that are in the bank with the active one, etc. <\/p>\n Stadium tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n The effects on a stadium apply to both players. In addition, only one stadium may be on the pitch. If a player uses a another<\/em><\/span> stadium, the current stadium disappears into the discard pile. Stadium cards often have passive effects which, for example, strengthen the Pok\u00e9mon cards of both players if they have a certain type, etc. <\/p>\n Equipment cards<\/strong><\/p>\n Equipment cards are attached like Energy cards to a Pok\u00e9mon on the Bench or to the active Pok\u00e9mon. Equipment cards give the Pok\u00e9mon to which they are attached new abilities. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n The course of the game<\/strong><\/p>\n Before explaining the course of a game, the playing field must first be explained. The playing field is quite simple. Each player has a deck from which they can draw a card at the start of each round. On the bench are the Pok\u00e9mon that are not actively fighting in front. There can be a total of five Pok\u00e9mon in the bank, unless an ability is active that extends this limit. Pok\u00e9mon on the bench cannot normally be attacked and are safe from opponents’ attacks. However, there are certain Pok\u00e9mon and strategies that can damage Pok\u00e9mon on the Bench. However, the majority of attacks are only ever aimed at the Pok\u00e9mon that is currently active. Another way to draw Pok\u00e9mon on the bench into battle is with Trainer cards. There are always items or Supporters that allow you to swap your opponent’s active Pok\u00e9mon with one on the bench. This can be strategically very valuable, as the opponent can be prevented from building up a strong Pok\u00e9mon on the bench. The last important part of the playing field are the prize cards. In the online game (from which the picture is taken), this is a stack of six cards. In reality, however, the six prize cards are often fanned out so that you have a better overview of them. Now that the basics are clear, the game can be explained. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Start of the game<\/strong><\/p>\n First, the deck is shuffled, then the top 7 cards of the deck are taken into the hand. Now both players must place a basic Pok\u00e9mon face down in the active area. A player who does not have a basic Pok\u00e9mon shuffles their hand cards back into the deck and draws 7 new cards. This is repeated until both players have a basic Pok\u00e9mon face down in the active area. For each time a player shuffles back their hand cards, the other player may draw an extra card after both players have placed their active Pok\u00e9mon. <\/p>\n A throw of the dice or a coin is used to decide who goes first.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Sequence of a train<\/strong><\/p>\n The player whose turn it is draws a card. Various steps can then be carried out in any order. <\/p>\n![\"Double](\"https:\/\/theuncommonshop.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/doppel-farblos-energie-136-149-uncommon_480x480-2.jpg\")
