You and your opponent will esch need a deck of 60 cards each, a coin, and some items you can use a counters to mark damage on your pokémon.

How To Win

In the game you can win in 3 different ways. First, at the start of the game, you set aside 6 of your cards as Prizes. Every time one of your opponent's pokémon is knocked out, you take one. When you have taken all 6 of your prize cards you win!. Second, you can also win if your opponent has no pokémon left to fight with. And finally, you win if your opponent's deck is out of cards at the start of their trun.

Starting the Game

- Shuffle you deck and draw 7 cards which will be your hand. Put the rest of your deck face down in front of you.

- If you don't have a Basic Pokémon in yout and (it will say "BAsic Pokémon in the top left corner), show your hand to your opponent, shuffleit back into your deck and draw 7 new cards. Your opponent may then draw up to 2 extra cards. If you still don't have any basic pokémon in your new hand you can repeat this process, but you opponent may draw up to 2 extra cards each time.

-You can you opponent ech choose a Basic Pokémon card from your hand and place them face down. These will be your active pokémon.

- Each player may, if he or she wishes, choose up to 5 Basic Pokémon fron his or her hand and put them face down on his her bench. (this is where they wait when they're not the Active Pokémon)

- Put the top 6 cards of your deck face-down in front of you. These are you Prizes, which you take as your opponents Pokémon are knocked out. You can't look at a Prize card until you take it.

- Flip a coin to decide who goes first.

- Flip over all the Active and Benched Pokémon that have been put on the table.

Let's Play!

As you play, youy and your opponent takes tunrs. During you opponents turn you don't do anything except replace your active pokémon if it gets knocked out. During you turn go through the steps below:

1) Draw a card

2) Do any of the following in any order as often as you like:
- Put a basic Pokémon on the bench
- Evolve a Pokémon in Play
- Attach a Energy card to a Pokémon ( only once per turn).
- Play a Trainer Card
- Retreat your Active Pokémon
- Use a Pokémon Power

3) Attack with your Active Pokémon

4) Your turn is now over

Step explanations

1) Draw a card. You always begin your turn by drawing a card.

2) Do any of the following in any order as often as you like:

Put a basic Pokémon on the bench

Choose a basic pokémon from your hand and put it on oyur bench. You can have no more that 5 Pokémon on your bench at any time, so you can put a new basic pokémon there only if you have 4 of fewer pokémon on it.

Evolve a Pokémon in Play

If you have a card in your hand that says "Evolves from so and so" and so aan so is the name of your pokémon you already have in play, you may play that card in your hand on top of the pokemon so and so . This is called "evolving a Pokémon.

When a pokémon evolves, it keeps any energy cards and any damage counters it might already have. All other things about the pokémon go away -- Sleep, Confusion, Paralysis, Poison or anything else that might be the result of an attack some pokémon made earlier. All of these things go away.

Attach a Energy card to a Pokémon

Take an energy card from your hand and attach it to one of your pokémon in play (put it under the pokémon card). You can only do this ONCE per turn.

Play a Trainer Card

To play a Trainer Card, do what is says then put it in the discard pile.

Retreat your Active Pokémon

You may switch you active pokémon with one of the pokémon on your bench. To do this, you must discard energy card equal to the active pokemon's retreat cost that's writen in the lower right-hand corner. If you can't do that then you can't retreat. Pokémon with no retreat cost don't need to discard any energy cards when they retreat -- they can retreat "for free".

A pokémon that is asleep or Paralyzed can't retreat. A confused pokémon can TRY to retreat, but it might not succed.

When you active pokémon soes to the bench, it keeps any energy cards, evolution cards and damage counters it already has. Allother thing are forgon Sleep etc. Retreating does NOT cost you your attack.

Use a Pokémon Power

Some pokémon have a special "Pokémon Power" written on the card. Many of these powers can be used BEFORE you attack. Ecah pokémon power is different though, so you should read carefully to see how each power works. A pokemon power isn't an attack, so if you use it you can stil attack!

3) Attack with your pokémon

If you wish you may have your pokémon attack your opponent's active pokémon. This is the last thing you can do during your turn -- you can't do ANYTHING else after your turn. You can only attack one time during your turn and your pokémon can only use one of it's attacks during the turn. To attack, just tell your opponent which attack you are using. You can only use the attack it you have the required amount of energy attached to your active pokémon.

Any type of energy can count towards energy requirments, all others must be the same type of energy required to do atacks, so if an attck requires energy, you MUST have a energy card to make the attack work.

Some pokémon have weakness or resistance to pokémon of other types. For example Charmander has a weakness to water pokémon. A defending pokémon takes DOUBLE damage from a pokémon that is has a weakness to and substracts from a pokémom that it has a Resistance to.

What hapends when your Pokémon is knocked out?

Whenever a Pokémon is knocked out, put it's Basic Pokémon card in the discard pile and all card attached to it. The opposing player takes on of their prize cards and puts in into their hand. A player who loses his or her active pokémon MUST IMMEDIATLY replace it with a pokémon from their bench. If both active pokémon are knocked out at the same time, the player whose turn it is replaces their active pokémon last.

4) Your turn is now over. Sometimes there are things to do after your turn is over but before you opponent's turn begins. After you've done these things your opponent's turn begins.

What Happens after Ech Player's Turn?

After each players turn, if either players active pokémon is poisoned, it'll take damage, and if it's asleep ot paralyzed it might recover. Then the next players turn begins.

How do Sleep, Confusion and Paralysis and poison work?

Some attacks cause the defending pokémon to be asleep, confused aor paralyzed or poisoned. These things don't happen to a benched pokémon, only toa active pokémon.

Asleep

If a pokémon is asleep, it can't attack or retreat. Turn the pokémon sideways to show it's alseep. After each players turn flip a coin. On heads the pokémon wakes up, but on tails it's still asleep and you'll have to wait untill after the next turn to flip again.

Confused

If a pokémon is confused you have to flip a coin whenever you try to attack with it or when you try to retreat it. Turh a cofused pokémon unside down.

When you try to make a confused pokémon retreat, you first have to to pay the required energy cards. Then flip a coin , on heads you may reatreat it, on tails it fails and your pokémon can't try to retreat again in that turn.

When you attack with a confused pokémon you flip a coin on heads the attack works, on tails the pokémon attacks itself with and attack that does 20 damage.

Paralyzed

If a popkémon is paralyzed it can't attack or retreat. Turn the pokemon sideways to show it's paralyzed. If an active pokémon recovers after it's players next turn , turn the card right-side up again.

Poisoned

If a pokémon is poisoned place a "poison marker" on it to show that it's poisoned.

As long as it's still poisoned, the pokémon takes 10 damage after each player's turn, ignoring weakness and resistance. If an atack would posion a pokemon that's already poisoned it doesn't get doubly poisoned, instead the new posion replaces the old one.

Can your Pokémon Be Asleep and Confused at the Same Time?

If your pokémon is asleep, confused, or paralyzed and a new attack is made that causes it to become asleep confused or paralyzed the old condition is erased and the new one counts. But these three conditions are the only attack effects that erase eachother.
