The '''Pokémon Trading Card Game''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンカードゲーム''', ''Pokémon Card Game''), often abbreviated as '''Pokémon TCG''' or just '''PTCG''' (Japanese: '''ポケカ''' ''Pokéca''), is a tabletop game that involves collecting, trading and playing with Pokémon-themed playing cards. It has its own set of rules but uses many motifs and ideas derived from the [[core series|video games]]. There are {{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}}s for every [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|species]] of Pokémon, as well as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s featuring characters, items and other themes of the franchise (each with a different use) and {{TCG|Energy card}}s to power attacks. The artwork for the cards is often created specifically for the TCG by numerous artists, though occasionally pre-existing art made for the core series is used.

The Pokémon TCG is a popular and steady aspect of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and is played and enjoyed by many fans. As of the end of March 2023, over 52.9 billion Pokémon Trading Card Game cards have been produced worldwide in 14 languages, and being sold in 89 countries and regions.<ref>[https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/aboutus/figures/ Pokémon in Figures｜The Pokémon Company]</ref> The game is part of the [[Play! Pokémon]] organized play along with the video game series and is also used in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Live]].

==History==
[[File:JPCardback.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Original back of Japanese cards]]
The Pokémon Trading Card Game was originally published in Japan in October 1996 by [[Media Factory]]. While other series of collectible Pokémon cards existed in the past (such as the [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]] released in September 1996), this was the first card game based on the [[Pokémon]] series. The first Pokémon TCG sets took inspiration from the then released {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} video games and initially featured illustrations by [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] and [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. Soon new [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansions]] began to release with many new artists contributing artwork. Three years later in 1999, Pokémon TCG was introduced in North America by [[Wizards of the Coast]] with the {{TCG|Base Set}}, and worldwide soon after. In 2003, Wizards of the Coast's license was transferred to [[The Pokémon Company International]].

With the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} video games, the ''[[#Neo Series|Neo Series]]'' (the second series of [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansions]]), started bringing several [[Generation II|new Pokémon]] into play. The {{TCG|Metal}} and {{TCG|Darkness}} {{TCG|type}}s of Pokémon cards were also introduced, along with {{TCG|Light Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}. These were eventually discontinued to prevent confusion with the {{tcg|Darkness|Darkness type}}, but returned briefly with the release of the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion. The ''[[#e-Card Series|e-Card Series]]'' used [[Game Boy Advance]] add-on [[e-Reader]] to display [[Pokédex]] data about the Pokémon, play a minigame, play various tunes in a [[Melody Box]], or activate a special attack for that Pokémon. The ''[[#EX Series|EX Series]]'' was released next (the first series released by [[The Pokémon Company International]] instead of [[Wizards of the Coast]]), introducing the stronger {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} into the game. The ''[[#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]]'' brought {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}, which were stronger, "Leveled-up" versions of final evolutions. Pokémon LV.X essentially replaced Pokémon-ex and continued until the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus}} expansion. The ''[[#HeartGold & SoulSilver Series|HeartGold & SoulSilver Series]]'' featured two more types of card, {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}}, two-part cards with one Pokémon on each card, and {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}}, Pokémon with powerful and/or tactical attacks. With the release of the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion, {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s ({{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Poké-POWER}}s and {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Poké-BODY}}s) were combined into one mechanic and renamed {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Ability|Abilities}}. ''Pokémon-ex'' returned as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} in the ''[[#Black & White Series|Black & White Series]]'' starting with the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion. The {{TCG|Dragon}} Pokémon {{TCG|type}} was introduced in the {{TCG|Dragon Vault}} expansion of the ''Black & White Series''. ''{{DL|Pokémon-EX (TCG)|M Pokémon-EX}}'' were introduced in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion and introduce the [[Mega Evolution]] mechanic featured in the [[Pokémon X and Y]] video games to the TCG. The ''[[#XY Series|XY Series]]'' also introduced the {{TCG|Fairy}} {{TCG|type}} Pokémon. {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} was introduced in the ''Sun & Moon Series''.

With the release of the ''[[#EX Series|EX Series]]'' worldwide, Pokémon TCG started publishing directly under [[Nintendo]] via its whole owned subsidiary [[The Pokémon Company International]], instead of [[Wizards of the Coast]]. In 2000, [[The Pokémon Company]] replaced Media Factory in publishing the cards in Japan starting with the [[Awakening Legends (TCG)|Awakening Legends]] expansion. Media Factory continued to distribute the cards until the ''[[#DP_era|DP era]]''.

Two [[Game Boy Color]] video games based on the card game were created: {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} was released in 1998 and worldwide in 2000, and its sequel, [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], was released three years later. [[Pokémon Card Game: How to Play DS]] was released in Japan in 2011 and taught players how to play the Pokémon TCG. In 2011, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] was introduced as a ''browser-based'' game but later became a downloadable game for PC, Mac, and iPad. Other media related to Pokémon TCG include several {{pkmn|manga}} titles, such as the series [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

==How to play==
[[File:Cardback.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Back of an English language card]]
:''See the {{TCG|Appendix:Glossary}} for a definition of most the Pokémon Trading Card Game terms.''
:''Also see the [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/tutorial/ Step-by-step Web Browser TCG Tutorials] on [[Pokémon.com]] for a visual introduction to the card game.''
The ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' is a two player game for all ages. Each player builds a [[Deck]] of sixty (60) cards using a combination of various ''"{{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}}s"'' (the main type of cards used to battle), ''"{{TCG|Trainer card}}s"'' (cards with special effects), and ''"{{TCG|Energy card}}s"'' (cards that are required to perform most "''{{TCG|Attack}}s''"). New cards and decks are constantly being released, and players may purchase "''{{TCG|Booster pack}}s''" to integrate these cards into their own decks or purchase pre-made "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Trainer kit}}s''" or "''{{TCG|Theme deck|Theme Deck}}s''" that already have all the cards needed to play. The ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' officially requires a deck of 60 cards for {{TCG|Standard format|Standard}} or {{TCG|Expanded format|Expanded}} play, though shorter {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match}}es can be held with "''{{TCG|Half Deck}}s''" consisting of 30 cards instead. During a 60 card match, only four of any one card, excluding {{TCG|Energy card|Basic Energy}} cards, are allowed in each deck. This is further limited to two of any one card in a Half Deck match. Many fans have also created their own game rules and playing methods and have websites devoted to providing alternative playing methods. These rules and methods are not allowed in [[Play! Pokémon]] competitions.

===Setting Up to Play===
To begin a match, players need a {{TCG|Coin|coin}} or a six-sided die (where the even-numbered sides represent "heads" and the odd-numbered sides represent "tails"). One player calls ''heads'' or ''tails'', while the other player flips the coin or rolls the die. If the player calling the coin flip gets their choice (heads or tails), that player gets to choose which player goes first. If the player calling the coin flip does not get their choice, the player flipping the coin gets to choose which player goes first. The player who goes first is not allowed to {{TCG|Attack|attack}} or play any {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter cards}} on that player's first turn. In best-of-three match play, after a game has been completed, the loser of that game decides who goes
first in the next game instead of determining it by a coin flip. This decision is made at the same point
during setup that the coin flip would take place.[https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-tournament-rules-handbook-03312021-en.pdf]
After determining which player goes first, both players must {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Shuffle|shuffle}} their own decks and allow their opponent to make a deck cut; alternatively, the opponent may choose to shuffle the other player's deck and allow the deck owner to make a deck cut. Each players then places their deck faces-down in the play area or "{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Field|field}}" in a north/south orientation, with the short sides of cards facing each player, and any card sleeve openings facing the opponent. The players then each take seven cards from the top of their respective decks. These cards go into their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hand|hand}}. Players then place one {{TCG|Pokémon|Basic Pokémon}} from their hand face down as their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Active Pokémon}}. If they have more than one Basic Pokémon, they may place the rest face down onto their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}. If a player does not have any Basic Pokémon in their hand during this step, they must take a mulligan. For each mulligan a player takes, that player’s opponent draws an additional card and puts it into their hand. Next, each player sets aside six cards from the top of their deck face down as {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Prize Card|Prize cards}}. Finally, each player flips over their Active and Benched Pokémon and the game starts.

===Turns===
At the start of each player's turn, they must draw a card. Then, they may take any of the following actions in any order they like.
* Attach up to one {{TCG|Energy card}} from their hand to one of their Pokémon
* Play as many {{TCG|Pokémon|Basic Pokémon}} from their hand onto their Bench as they like
* {{DL|Evolution|In the TCG|Evolve}} as many of their Pokémon as they like
* [[Retreat cost|Retreat]] their Active Pokémon up to one time
* Play as many {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}} in their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hand|hand}} as they like (but only one Supporter card and one Stadium card)
* Use any {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Ability|Abilities}} or {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Pokémon Power|Pokémon Powers}}
{{TCG|Attack|Attacking}} will end a player's turn regardless of how many other actions they have taken, but a player may choose to end their turn without attacking.

===Winning a match===
To win a match, players must:
# Take their six [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Prize Card|prize cards]] by {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Knock Out|knocking out}} their opponent's Pokémon by using {{TCG|Attack}}s to reduce the opponent's [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|HP to zero]].
# Players may also win when their opponent ''runs out of Pokémon'' on the field of play, which includes their [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Active Pokémon|Active Pokémon]] and [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Bench|Bench Pokémon]], or
# If their opponent must draw a card from their [[Deck]] at the beginning of their turn, but they have ''run out of cards in their Deck''.

The '''Pokémon Trading Card Game''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンカードゲーム''', ''Pokémon Card Game''), often abbreviated as '''Pokémon TCG''' or just '''PTCG''' (Japanese: '''ポケカ''' ''Pokéca''), is a tabletop game that involves collecting, trading and playing with Pokémon-themed playing cards. It has its own set of rules but uses many motifs and ideas derived from the [[core series|video games]]. There are {{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}}s for every [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|species]] of Pokémon, as well as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s featuring characters, items and other themes of the franchise (each with a different use) and {{TCG|Energy card}}s to power attacks. The artwork for the cards is often created specifically for the TCG by numerous artists, though occasionally pre-existing art made for the core series is used.

The Pokémon TCG is a popular and steady aspect of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and is played and enjoyed by many fans. As of the end of March 2023, over 52.9 billion Pokémon Trading Card Game cards have been produced worldwide in 14 languages, and being sold in 89 countries and regions.<ref>[https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/aboutus/figures/ Pokémon in Figures｜The Pokémon Company]</ref> The game is part of the [[Play! Pokémon]] organized play along with the video game series and is also used in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Live]].

==History==
[[File:JPCardback.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Original back of Japanese cards]]
The Pokémon Trading Card Game was originally published in Japan in October 1996 by [[Media Factory]]. While other series of collectible Pokémon cards existed in the past (such as the [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]] released in September 1996), this was the first card game based on the [[Pokémon]] series. The first Pokémon TCG sets took inspiration from the then released {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} video games and initially featured illustrations by [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] and [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. Soon new [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansions]] began to release with many new artists contributing artwork. Three years later in 1999, Pokémon TCG was introduced in North America by [[Wizards of the Coast]] with the {{TCG|Base Set}}, and worldwide soon after. In 2003, Wizards of the Coast's license was transferred to [[The Pokémon Company International]].

With the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} video games, the ''[[#Neo Series|Neo Series]]'' (the second series of [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansions]]), started bringing several [[Generation II|new Pokémon]] into play. The {{TCG|Metal}} and {{TCG|Darkness}} {{TCG|type}}s of Pokémon cards were also introduced, along with {{TCG|Light Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}. These were eventually discontinued to prevent confusion with the {{tcg|Darkness|Darkness type}}, but returned briefly with the release of the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion. The ''[[#e-Card Series|e-Card Series]]'' used [[Game Boy Advance]] add-on [[e-Reader]] to display [[Pokédex]] data about the Pokémon, play a minigame, play various tunes in a [[Melody Box]], or activate a special attack for that Pokémon. The ''[[#EX Series|EX Series]]'' was released next (the first series released by [[The Pokémon Company International]] instead of [[Wizards of the Coast]]), introducing the stronger {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} into the game. The ''[[#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]]'' brought {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}, which were stronger, "Leveled-up" versions of final evolutions. Pokémon LV.X essentially replaced Pokémon-ex and continued until the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus}} expansion. The ''[[#HeartGold & SoulSilver Series|HeartGold & SoulSilver Series]]'' featured two more types of card, {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}}, two-part cards with one Pokémon on each card, and {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}}, Pokémon with powerful and/or tactical attacks. With the release of the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion, {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s ({{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Poké-POWER}}s and {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Poké-BODY}}s) were combined into one mechanic and renamed {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Ability|Abilities}}. ''Pokémon-ex'' returned as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} in the ''[[#Black & White Series|Black & White Series]]'' starting with the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion. The {{TCG|Dragon}} Pokémon {{TCG|type}} was introduced in the {{TCG|Dragon Vault}} expansion of the ''Black & White Series''. ''{{DL|Pokémon-EX (TCG)|M Pokémon-EX}}'' were introduced in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion and introduce the [[Mega Evolution]] mechanic featured in the [[Pokémon X and Y]] video games to the TCG. The ''[[#XY Series|XY Series]]'' also introduced the {{TCG|Fairy}} {{TCG|type}} Pokémon. {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} was introduced in the ''Sun & Moon Series''.

With the release of the ''[[#EX Series|EX Series]]'' worldwide, Pokémon TCG started publishing directly under [[Nintendo]] via its whole owned subsidiary [[The Pokémon Company International]], instead of [[Wizards of the Coast]]. In 2000, [[The Pokémon Company]] replaced Media Factory in publishing the cards in Japan starting with the [[Awakening Legends (TCG)|Awakening Legends]] expansion. Media Factory continued to distribute the cards until the ''[[#DP_era|DP era]]''.

Two [[Game Boy Color]] video games based on the card game were created: {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} was released in 1998 and worldwide in 2000, and its sequel, [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], was released three years later. [[Pokémon Card Game: How to Play DS]] was released in Japan in 2011 and taught players how to play the Pokémon TCG. In 2011, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] was introduced as a ''browser-based'' game but later became a downloadable game for PC, Mac, and iPad. Other media related to Pokémon TCG include several {{pkmn|manga}} titles, such as the series [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

==How to play==
[[File:Cardback.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Back of an English language card]]
:''See the {{TCG|Appendix:Glossary}} for a definition of most the Pokémon Trading Card Game terms.''
:''Also see the [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/tutorial/ Step-by-step Web Browser TCG Tutorials] on [[Pokémon.com]] for a visual introduction to the card game.''
The ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' is a two player game for all ages. Each player builds a [[Deck]] of sixty (60) cards using a combination of various ''"{{TCG|Pokémon|Pokémon card}}s"'' (the main type of cards used to battle), ''"{{TCG|Trainer card}}s"'' (cards with special effects), and ''"{{TCG|Energy card}}s"'' (cards that are required to perform most "''{{TCG|Attack}}s''"). New cards and decks are constantly being released, and players may purchase "''{{TCG|Booster pack}}s''" to integrate these cards into their own decks or purchase pre-made "''{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Trainer kit}}s''" or "''{{TCG|Theme deck|Theme Deck}}s''" that already have all the cards needed to play. The ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' officially requires a deck of 60 cards for {{TCG|Standard format|Standard}} or {{TCG|Expanded format|Expanded}} play, though shorter {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match}}es can be held with "''{{TCG|Half Deck}}s''" consisting of 30 cards instead. During a 60 card match, only four of any one card, excluding {{TCG|Energy card|Basic Energy}} cards, are allowed in each deck. This is further limited to two of any one card in a Half Deck match. Many fans have also created their own game rules and playing methods and have websites devoted to providing alternative playing methods. These rules and methods are not allowed in [[Play! Pokémon]] competitions.

To begin a match, players need a {{TCG|Coin|coin}} or a six-sided die (where the even-numbered sides represent "heads" and the odd-numbered sides represent "tails"). One player calls ''heads'' or ''tails'', while the other player flips the coin or rolls the die. If the player calling the coin flip gets their choice (heads or tails), that player gets to choose which player goes first. If the player calling the coin flip does not get their choice, the player flipping the coin gets to choose which player goes first. The player who goes first is not allowed to {{TCG|Attack|attack}} or play any {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter cards}} on that player's first turn. In best-of-three match play, after a game has been completed, the loser of that game decides who goes
first in the next game instead of determining it by a coin flip. This decision is made at the same point
during setup that the coin flip would take place.[https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-tournament-rules-handbook-03312021-en.pdf]
After determining which player goes first, both players must {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Shuffle|shuffle}} their own decks and allow their opponent to make a deck cut; alternatively, the opponent may choose to shuffle the other player's deck and allow the deck owner to make a deck cut. Each players then places their deck faces-down in the play area or "{{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Field|field}}" in a north/south orientation, with the short sides of cards facing each player, and any card sleeve openings facing the opponent. The players then each take seven cards from the top of their respective decks. These cards go into their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hand|hand}}. Players then place one {{TCG|Pokémon|Basic Pokémon}} from their hand face down as their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Active Pokémon}}. If they have more than one Basic Pokémon, they may place the rest face down onto their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}. If a player does not have any Basic Pokémon in their hand during this step, they must take a mulligan. For each mulligan a player takes, that player’s opponent draws an additional card and puts it into their hand. Next, each player sets aside six cards from the top of their deck face down as {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Prize Card|Prize cards}}. Finally, each player flips over their Active and Benched Pokémon and the game starts.

===Turns===
At the start of each player's turn, they must draw a card. Then, they may take any of the following actions in any order they like.
* Attach up to one {{TCG|Energy card}} from their hand to one of their Pokémon
* Play as many {{TCG|Pokémon|Basic Pokémon}} from their hand onto their Bench as they like
* {{DL|Evolution|In the TCG|Evolve}} as many of their Pokémon as they like
* [[Retreat cost|Retreat]] their Active Pokémon up to one time
* Play as many {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}} in their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hand|hand}} as they like (but only one Supporter card and one Stadium card)
* Use any {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Ability|Abilities}} or {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Pokémon Power|Pokémon Powers}}
{{TCG|Attack|Attacking}} will end a player's turn regardless of how many other actions they have taken, but a player may choose to end their turn without attacking.

===Winning a match===
To win a match, players must:
# Take their six [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Prize Card|prize cards]] by {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Knock Out|knocking out}} their opponent's Pokémon by using {{TCG|Attack}}s to reduce the opponent's [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|HP to zero]].
# Players may also win when their opponent ''runs out of Pokémon'' on the field of play, which includes their [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Active Pokémon|Active Pokémon]] and [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Bench|Bench Pokémon]], or
# If their opponent must draw a card from their [[Deck]] at the beginning of their turn, but they have ''run out of cards in their Deck''.

===[[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]===
Due to the addition of [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] (and their production Props) to [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] at [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation V)|indices 652 to 684]] and the removal of Manaphy Egg (although its sprite was preserved for Pokéstar Smeargle), Bad Egg was shifted down one slot, two new Glitch Eggs were added, and the existing Glitch Unown were shifted up 34 slots, with a few new Glitch Unown (with the {{Abilities}} and [[move]]sets of White/Black {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Keldeo}}'s Resolute Form, and the Therian Formes of {{p|Tornadus}}/{{p|Thundurus}}/{{p|Landorus}}) added afterwards. The Pokéstar opponents and Props can be seen as [[wild Pokémon]] (but only by cheating), thus they are listed below for reference.

==In [[Generation VI]]==
The following glitch Pokémon can be found in [[Generation VI]]. All can only be seen with a [[cheating]] device.

Glitch Pokémon beyond #723 have species names identical to their Pokédex number on their summary screen. In the case of Pokémon with numbers greater than 999, the number is displayed incorrectly, with a single '?' in place of all the digits except the last two (e.g. 1234 is shown as "?34".)
