Question

How do I make a strong deck?

Community Answer

Be sure to have basic Pokemon with evolved forms in your deck. It's also worth adding various items and energy cards to your deck.

Question

If you evolve your Pokemon, does it mean your turn ends?

Community Answer

If you evolve your Pokemon, your turn doesn't end unless stated by a card in play (in the active positions or in the form of stadiums).

Question

Does the heath change with it or does it get back to full heath of the evolved card?

Community Answer

If my wartortle had 90HP and had taken 30HP in damage, then my blastoise with 150HP would also retain the 30HP of damage (leaving it with 120HP).

Question

Do I need to play a Munchlax before evolving into a Snorlax if both are basic cards?

Brendan

Community Answer

If a Pokémon card is labeled as a basic card, you don't need to play the pre-evolution. If the Snorlax card doesn't indicate it evolves from Munchlax and is a basic card, you can play the Snorlax directly.

Question

What should I do with a Stage 1 Pokémon if its Basic Pokémon gets discarded or knocked out?

AcademicAmbivalence

Community Answer

You can only play a Stage 1 Pokémon by evolving it from its Basic form. If the Basic Pokémon is knocked out and you have no other copies in your deck, you cannot play the Stage 1 version. It's helpful to include revives and other trainer cards in your deck to draw, search, or shuffle cards. Also, maintain a varied selection of Pokémon, with multiple copies of each. For example, if you have a Charizard, include 2 Charmeleons and 2 or 3 Charmanders.
