POKEMON WAVE 2 INSTRUCTIONS What is Pokémon Wave 2? Pokémon Wave 2 is a card game based on the upcoming PC Pokémon game by CC & SH. This set will literally change the way you play the Pokémon Trading card game forever! These rules apply to decks containing Pokémon Wave 2 cards, or any other card sets obtained from The S's Pad. What do you need to play? Both you and your opponent need a deck of 60 cards, a coin, and some damage counters. This 60 card dek can be made with any types of cards, real or fake, English or Foreign (as long as you have an English proxy card). How to win- There are now 4 different ways to win: -Draw all 6 of your Prizes. These are carrds set to the side at the beginning of the game, and you draw 1 Prize each time you Knock Out one of your opponent's Pokémon. -You Knock Out all of your opponent's Pokkémon, and they are not able to play any more Pokémon. -If your opponent's deck runs out of cardds (this is known as "Decking") -If at any time you only have 1 Pokémon iin play and 6 Prizes left, and your opponent has only 1 Prize left, you may choose to declare a "Yusosha Tatakai". If your opponent accepts, you each discard the top 2 cards of your decks. Then the first player to Knock Out 1 of their opponent's Pokémon wins the game! Starting the Game -Flip a coin to see who goes first. -Shuffle your deck and draw a starting haand of 7 cards. Put the rest of your deck face-down in front of you. -You and your opponent each choose a Basiic Pokémon from your hands and put them face down. This will be your starting Active Pokémon. If either play draws a starting hand with no Basic Pokémon, show your hand to your opponent, shuffle it back into your deck, and draw 7 new cards. Your opponent may then draw 1 extra card. This action is known in some circles as a "Mulligan". -Each player may choose up to 5 Basic Pokkémon from their hands and put them face-down on his or her Bench. -Each player places the top 6 cards of thheir decks, without looking at them, face-down to the side. Thes are your Prize cards. -Flip over all of the Active and Benched Pokémon that have been placed on the table. What can you do during your turn? 1. Draw a card. 2. Do any of the following in any order: -Place a Basic Pokémon on the Bench (as many as you wish, as long as you Bench is not full). -Evolve a Pokémon in play (as many times per turn as you wish, as long as that Pokémon was not put into play this turn, or has just Evolved this turn). -Attach 1 Energy to 1 of your Pokémon (only once per turn) -Play a Trainer Card (can be done as many times per turn as you wish, but you can only play 1 Stadium and 1 Supporter card per turn). -Retreat your Active Pokémon (once per turn only) -Use a Pokémon Power (as many as you wish per turn) 3. Attack with your Active Pokémon: -Check to make sure your Active Pokémon has enough Energy attached to it to attack. -Check Weakness and Resistance of your opponent's Pokémon -Place the correct amount of damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon. -Check to see if your Knocked Out your opponent's Pokémon -If you did indeed Knock Out one of your opponent's Pokémon, draw a Prize card. 4. Your turn is now over. How Special Conditions work: In Pokémon Wave 2, any Pokémon in play (including Benched Pokémon) may be affected by a Special Condition. -Asleep If a Pokémon is Asleep, it cannot attack or retreat. As soon as a Pokémon is Asleep, turn it sideways to show that it is Asleep. After each player's turn, flip a coin. If heads, the Pokémon wakes up (turn the card back right-side up). If tails, it is still Asleep, and you have to wait until after the next turn to try to wake it up again. -Burned If a Pokémon is Burned, place a "Burn Marker" on it to show that it is Burned. As long as it's still Burned, flip a coin after each player's turn. If tails, place 2 damage counters on it, ignoring Weakness and Resistance. -Confused If a Pokémon is Confused, you have to flip a coin whenever you try to attack with it or make it retreat. Turn a Confused Pokémon upside-down to show it is Confused. If a Confused Pokémon retreats, it loses all Special Conditions. When you attack or retreat with a Confused Pokémon, flip a coin. If heads, the attack works normally, but if tails, that Pokémon take 20 damage (apply Weakness, Resistance, and other effects for Confusion Damage). -Paralyzed If a Pokémon is Paralyzed, it cannot attack or retreat. Turn the Pokémon sideways to show it is Paralyzed. If a Pokémon is Paralyzed, it recovers after its player's next turn, and the play turns the card right-side up again. -Poisoned If a Pokémon is Poisoned, put a "Poison Marker" on it to show it is Poisoned. As long as it is still Poisoned, place a damage counter on it after each player's turn, ignoring Weakness, Resistance, and other effects. -Frozen A new Status Condition in the Wave 2 games, place a "Freeze Marker" on a Frozen Pokémon to show that it is Frozen. Whenever you try to attack or retreat a Frozen Pokémon, you must first flip a coin. If heads, the attack or retreat is successful, but you must pay 1 extra Energy of any kind in order to perform this action, and the Pokémon is "thawed out" (no longer Frozen). If tails, it is still Frozen, and the attack or retreat fails. New Energy cards Seven new Energy cards make their debut in Wave 2: Bug, Ghost, Ground (also called "Earth"), Poison, Dragon, Flying, and Mysterious. In the next set (Miner), Ice Energy will be introduced. New Weaknesses and Resistances If a Pokémon has a Weakness to the attack being used, it does double damage. If a Pokémon has a Resistance to the Pokémon whose attack is being used, it does 30 less damage. If a Pokémon is Weak or Resistant to one of the new types and the opponent use an equivalent from another series, the Weakness or Resistance may be inforced (i.e., a Pokémon Weak to Bug can be double-damaged by a Jungle Scyther, but not a Jungle Vileplume).
