I watched this video and it helped me play Pokémon and I’m leaving this comment here so when it gets a reply or gets likes it’ll remind me of this video.
Hi, a 11 year old here, Today ive realized i couldnt just sleeve my cards and just leave them there in my book, So today i am trying to learn how to play pokemon. Its kinda confusing but im getting some of it!
I am a 35-year-old man it seems like people my age and for a long time now do not play this kind of stuff. and I would love to play Pokemon and I would love to play dungeons and dragons with other players however none of my friends are people I know seem to be interested if anything I think they believe it's for kids or silly and for that reason I've never had the opportunity to play the damn game
Try and find a local game store and ask around! Typically you will be able to find an RPG night for Dungeons & Dragons and maybe a Pokémon League! The majority of people that actually play the TCG are in there 20s / 30s so I wouldn’t ever worry about age 😊 let me know how you get on!
Great video mate. Literally just started to play at a pre release last week and had no idea what i was doing lol seems like this will be so Good when you know how to play. Think I’m getting the gist of it now but is there a limit on how many evolves you can do on your turn?
Amazing buddy, welcome to the game - glad the video was good for you! You can any amount of your Pokémon, unless they’ve only come into play that turn or already been evolved that turn. There are a few exceptions like the Vivilion line in the Scarlet and Violet pre-release 😂 which won’t help when learning!
@@WoodyREC thank you for the clarification. I was listening to the video in my car. Going to rewatch later at home. So far seems mostly like what im used to in Magic
No problem 😊 At the start of your turn you will always draw one card, then during your turn you will normally draw more via Trainer cards or Pokémon abilities!
@@WoodyREC thank you so much!!! I just bought two ETC (vivid voltage and brilliant stars) and I’m learning how to play. Watching a bunch of your videos right now!
The game is just so easy and fast to play in comparison to yugioh or magic (which both are great aswell) unfortunately hardly anyone plays pokemon tcg even little kids just collect them.
are you limited in how many cards you can have in your hand? also, do you discard your energy after every attack, or do you keep it? can you retreat an evolved pokémon? where do you put your prize cards? do you shuffle your deck after being able to view or look through it? just some questions i had. thank you for the informative video!
No, you can have any amount! Energy stays on your Pokémon after attacks unless the attack specifically says to discard energy. You can retreat any type of Pokemon Anytime you search your deck it must be shuffled afterwards!
I have a general idea on what you're trying to do but is there a good video you or someone else has that actually shows what all can be done on each persons turn? More like a head-to-head to know how it looks when you're actually playing? thanks!
Which bit are you struggling with? I don’t know of any matches that are How To play unfortunately, maybe the official Pokemon channel? In a turn you can attach one energy, use one supporter and any amount of items, Pokemon as long as you have space / Pokemon for them to evolve!
Most decks tend to have 1-2 types of attackers, but you might have different types of Pokemon that are more for support (abilities etc) There is a video on the channel about deck building that might help 😊
You always have one active Pokémon then up to 5 on your bench, so at most six in play, but 5 of which are on the bench! If you have space from Pokémon being knocked out you can put new Pokémon onto your bench!
The big Pokemon V are classed as basic Pokemon which means they can be played straight onto the field - these normally tend to be more powerful versions of the Pokemon!
If you haven’t got any energy and are just playing with friends you could always sleeve backwards cards as energy for now You can find bundles of energy cheap online or in ETB / starter decks if you were looking for some! Alternatively if you have a local Pokémon League somebody will no doubt help you there!
Roughly I’d say something like 18 Pokémon, 30 Trainers and 12 Energy - some decks vary massively but that’s a good base! Your main attackers you tend to want 3-4 of and if you’re playing let’s say a Lugia VStar for example you would have 4 Lugia V and then 2-3 VStar so you have more of the basic. If you’re playing a Stage 2 Pokémon like Charizard it’s not uncommon to play 4 Charmander, 2 Charmeleon, 4 Charizard. You could then play 4 Rare Candy which let you skip the middle evolution giving you plenty of evolving options!
Both are children's games compared to the strategic complexity of Magic the gathering. Im only learning how to play pokemon to play with my kids that have no interest in magic

What type of support cards do you have in your deck? I need some ideas.😅

Glad to hear - I’ve got a video on deck building too if that helps make your first deck!
this really helped me out youre a great teacher thank you
Appreciate that - makes it all worthwhile!
This was rly helpful, thanks a lot!
Glad to hear buddy - shout if you need any help! Got a video on deck building coming up too 😊
Was it really this complicated when we were Kids?
0 comments I will change that but thanks for that

@georgie youngI have like 80 or 90
Is there anyway that I can play Pokémon xy only without the basic set?

Hi woddy im your biggest fan of all this was very helpful. You helped me learn about pokemon cards (because I'm still new in Pokemon cards)

Please tell if we not got any energy in game. Then what to do😩😩
Pokemon on the bench can use there abilities? I think thats what you were doing? Just getting started playing with me neice
Yes, unless stated otherwise in the ability, you can use them from the bench 😊
@@WoodyREC thank you for the clarification. I was listening to the video in my car. Going to rewatch later at home. So far seems mostly like what im used to in Magic
Great video ! When you put a basic card with a stage 1 (Squirtle & Warturtle) do you combine the HP ?
Thanks! No the HP doesn’t combine, you would out Wartortle on top of Squirtle and now only use Wartortles HP, attacks etc
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! there’s something I need a bit of clarification:
To draw I need to use another card or do we draw 1 card per turn
No problem 😊
At the start of your turn you will always draw one card, then during your turn you will normally draw more via Trainer cards or Pokémon abilities!
@@WoodyREC thank you so much!!! I just bought two ETC (vivid voltage and brilliant stars) and I’m learning how to play. Watching a bunch of your videos right now!
@@LeonC0704 Best of luck with your pulls too!

No, you can have any amount!
Energy stays on your Pokémon after attacks unless the attack specifically says to discard energy.
You can retreat any type of Pokemon
Anytime you search your deck it must be shuffled afterwards!
@@WoodyREC thank you!
@@WoodyREC can you retreat your energy or add it to another pokémon, such as one on the bench? if so, does that count for your turn?
Do you share the 60 cards or is it 60 cards each player?
60 cards per player!
It didn't help please make it easier
Woody [REC] can't.
Cheers mate now to find people to play with!
Fingers crossed you can find a club near you - PTCG Online is amazing if not, if you want to just get playing for now!
I have a general idea on what you're trying to do but is there a good video you or someone else has that actually shows what all can be done on each persons turn? More like a head-to-head to know how it looks when you're actually playing? thanks!

In a turn you can attach one energy, use one supporter and any amount of items, Pokemon as long as you have space / Pokemon for them to evolve!
Omg thanks so cool deserves a sub
Quick question, so let's say a card needs one electric energy and 2 colorless. Can the colorless be any energy?
That’s correct, colourless energy can be represented by any!
@@WoodyREC Awesome! Thank you for the help!
Should your deck just be one type of pokemon?
Most decks tend to have 1-2 types of attackers, but you might have different types of Pokemon that are more for support (abilities etc)
There is a video on the channel about deck building that might help 😊
Can I only play 5 on my bench for the whole game or always have 5?
You always have one active Pokémon then up to 5 on your bench, so at most six in play, but 5 of which are on the bench!
If you have space from Pokémon being knocked out you can put new Pokémon onto your bench!
@@WoodyREC oh dope thank you
helped me i have a rare collection
How were you able to put a gengar without putting his pre evolutions?
The big Pokemon V are classed as basic Pokemon which means they can be played straight onto the field - these normally tend to be more powerful versions of the Pokemon!
Thanks
yo can i get the deck profile, i always want a gengar deck

Why i have only 47 cards in my deck …i just buy it for my dochter
The thing is I can understand this game, but how do I make my 6 year old nephew understand it 😭 it's so confusing for him
So gengar can go to the field if it says basic?
Correct! Basic Pokémon go on the field then can evolve into Stage 1 / 2
@@WoodyREC how did you play darkrai on gengar?
Can you evolve more than one Pokémon per turn
You can evolve multiple Pokemon, however: it can't be the same Pokemon twice, and the Pokemon must have been in play a turn already!
idk waht i need to do when i destroy one of teamates card
Once you knock out an opponents Pokémon if it’s a regular you take 1 prize card, if it’s a V / VStar you take 2 prize cards and VMax 3 prize cards!
I don't have trainers nor energy cards
How if you don't have inaugh energy
If you haven’t got any energy and are just playing with friends you could always sleeve backwards cards as energy for now
You can find bundles of energy cheap online or in ETB / starter decks if you were looking for some! Alternatively if you have a local Pokémon League somebody will no doubt help you there!
I got mega rayquaza
I like the vid but kinda confusing
Anything I can help clear up?
Is there a rough guide for how many energy/ basic Pokemon/ evolved Pokemon/ trainers etc you want?
Thanks!
Roughly I’d say something like 18 Pokémon, 30 Trainers and 12 Energy - some decks vary massively but that’s a good base!
Your main attackers you tend to want 3-4 of and if you’re playing let’s say a Lugia VStar for example you would have 4 Lugia V and then 2-3 VStar so you have more of the basic.
