These are some strategy
tips that will help you master the Trading Card Game.
1) Don't evolve a
Pokémon without energy cards
Evolved Pokémon often require many energy cards
for each of their attacks. You will have a
disadvantage if one of your evolved Pokémon is
put into play without enough energy cards
attached to it. It will have to take damage until
you attach enough energy, and it may even be
knocked out before it can attack. A good idea
would be to keep adding energy to the Pokémon
you want to evolve, then attach the last energy
and evolve it in the same turn.
2) Try to play your Pokémon at every stage
If you are planning to evolve a certain Pokémon,
you might want to put it into play before you
evolve it, especially if it has some good
attacks. This way, you can put the Pokémon and
its energy cards to use, but keep in mind that
any damage it receives will remain once it's
evolved.
3) Choose speed, not strength for your first
active Pokémon
Your Pokémon will not be able to attack until it
has enough energy cards, so choose one that
doesn't have a high energy cost for its attack.
As usual, you wouldn't want your active Pokémon
to be knocked out before it even has the chance
to attack.
4) Don't be afraid to retreat
If you see that your active Pokémon is about to
be knocked out, retreat it rather than allowing
your opponent to win a prize by knocking it out.
5) Consider the number of prizes when
constructing a deck
Professor Oak and Bill do not always offer an
advantage. Depending on the number of prizes in a
game, these cards could cause a win or a loss. In
the case of a long game with 6 prizes, it would
be best to have as few Professor Oaks and Bills
as possible. The reason is this: It will take
longer to win all the prizes, so you need your
deck to last longer. It would be better to have
cards that allow you to retrieve cards from the
discard pile, rather than those that empty your
deck. However in a short game, these trainer
cards will be very helpful. |
