Finally, perfection
Area Zero Underdepths
Players with a Tera Pokémon in play may have up to 8 Benched Pokémon.
(If this card gets discarded, or if a player has no Tera Pokémon in play anymore, they discard Benched Pokémon until they have 5. If both players discard, this card's owner chooses first)

Not everyone has the privilege to travel. Removing the local series is dumb because it removes the ability to get a worlds invite from everyone who can’t afford to travel. This is a very insensitive take to have and would be harmful to the wellbeing of the game if implemented.

Search your deck for a card that doesn't have an Ability and that evolves from 1 of your Pokémon in play, and put it onto that Pokémon to evolve it. Then shuffle your deck. You can use this card on a Pokémon that was put into play this turn or during setup.

Pokemon TCG Tip of the Day: Take your losses. If you try to tech for everything, you'll end up beating nothing. Build your deck around your game plan and only include tech cards that significantly boost matchup percentages without decreasing overall consistency.

3-3 drop with CPAO 🥶 Making it until round 6 with my favorite deck at the world championships is the coolest thing in the world, and I’m so unbelievably grateful for this little ice cat. List felt insanely broken, unfortunately TOM hates me and gave me 2 snorlaxes 🤢

I’ve been playing the game since 2015 and never gotten my worlds invite until this year. Last season, I ended with 220 championship points, this time it’s 33rd in North America. And of course, all thanks to a special ice cat 🥶

Here's what probably happened with the NAIC thing:
- Pokemon saw a problem: RK9 reg. RK9 registration from last year NAIC was very not great. However, RK9 has since then made enormous strides and fixed basically every issue anyone has ever complained about, but I guess this

It's actually insane how Pokémon can and continues to get away with this. First, forcing people to use an unfinished, garbage client. Now, people who drop thousands on flights are fucked. This is completely unacceptable and we must hold this billion dollar enterprise accountable.
Regretfully, the decision has been made to cancel the Yokohama Open. Please look forward to participating in fun side events and activities throughout Worlds weekend.

I made an article discussing my experience playing and learning the TCG with ADHD - hope this helps all of the ADHD pals out there, it is a tough journey but it is definitely possible to succeed 😊
Are there any TCG players with ADHD producing consistently good results at regionals/large events?
I'm looking to DM one to ask about their strategies and habits. Thanks!

You can now store your PTCG live games on ! There's like a million things I want to add to this like personal game stats, prize map analytics, matchup stats etc... For now you can just have a record of all your games, and I will soon add much more!
Adding a game practice logger to that utilizes the new battle log feature from PTCG live. Will push something very soon :)

There's been a lot of discussion on misreporting on . Moving forward, during the tournament, you will not be able to report only what you are playing until the tournament is over. Most people don't do this anyways, so it will be an extremely minor change.

I'd like to share with you why this is a big deal from my perspective. Growing up Jewish in a predominantly not-Jewish world, I've always been told about the Holocaust. That's a horrifying thing to learn about as a child, but it's part of being Jewish in the modern world.

Why I cut Manaphy in Chien-Pao: Manaphy’s use in the archetype is to prevent both Frigibaxes from dying before you can get out a Baxcalibur. Notably, there’s only one turn where this is relevant, and it’s turn 2 if your opponent goes first. No other time will Greninja happen 1/
