The Rules Thread

Ok, so this is the thread where you can ask ANYTHING concerning the rules and gameplay of Pokémon Trading Card Game.

For example: "What happens to my pokemons special condition when i retreat it?", "Can i retreat under any special condition?" or: "How does PlusPower affect benched pokemon?"

I will, among the other good TCG'ers here, try to get an answer for you ASAP, and there is no stupid questions people, please ask ^^

(PS: This thread should be (in my opinion) stickied or whatever it's called, so it would stay on the top of the section)

Which do you think are the best/strongest pokemon cards of all time?

Are these kind of questions supposed to be here or not?

Well, kinda not, those are general questions. This thread is concerning rules in the TCG. As you are not asking ;P

Hey I got an ancient mew card I wondering how rare is it,and it written like ancient pokemon writing or something,I was wondering what does it do

that card is very rare indeed but it is banned from play so you cannot use in the tcg

do the amount of damage written on the right side of the attack on a card applies anytime when you choosed it to fend off your enemy? or it also varies on the type of the enemy pokemon? does it decrease the HP of the attacked pokemon?

It decreases the Defending pokemons HP after following the rules of the attack, stated underneath, and checking the defending pokemons weakness and resistence. If either is the attacking pokemons type, do what it says underneath to the attacks power.

And yes, sonic is right. Although Ancient Mew is a very rare card, it is banned from play, like all old cards.

It's actually not that rare, it's worth like.. 15 bucks ;P

Also, every card from platinum and older is banned from play, unless it is a trainer that has the same text as a card that is legal now. e.g. rare candy, you can use both new ones and old ones :)
