How to play the Pokemon Card Game.
Many people collect Pokemon Cards, but never learn how to play the game. You may be wondering how to so today you're going to learn how. First you need 60 basic Pokemon types of cards. The basic types are normal, fighting, flying, poison, ground, rock, bug, ghost, steel, fire, psychic, and dark. Also in your deck there are energy cards that help power up your Pokemon. Now, your setup. In front of you you will have your deck, bench, and hand. Your deck is where you draw Pokemon and Energy cards. Your hand is where you keep all the cards you drew, and it shouldn't be visible to your opponent. In your bench you can hold up to five Pokemon. If you have an evolved version of one of your Pokemon on your deck you can evolve it and place the evolved version on the other Pokemon. With energy cards your can slide them under one of your Pokemon on the bench. Let's talk about what you can find on a basic Pokemon card. First you will find what stage in the corner for example, basic, stage one, or stage two. You can also find what type they are like water, fire, or even electric. On the other corner you can find your Pokemon's health that is titled as "HP". Next to that you'll find a number, that's your Pokemon's health. It works the same for your Pokemon's attacks, but the attacks have different names, like "Iron Tail", "Flame Thrower" or, "String Shot". Anyways, I hope that gives you some information on how to play the card game with your Pokemon collection.
