Trivia Quiz: What Do You Know About Pokemon Trading Card Game Rules?

Attacking is the last thing you should do because it ends your turn. This statement is true because in many games or situations, attacking is considered a final action in a turn-based system. Once you choose to attack, it often signifies the end of your turn, preventing you from taking any further actions or making additional moves. This rule is commonly followed in various strategy games, card games, and role-playing games where players take turns to perform actions. By attacking, you commit to finishing your turn and allowing the next player or opponent to take their turn.

The statement is false because according to the given information, it is not possible to have more than one stadium card in play at one time.

In Pokémon, if an attack requires a fire and a single colorless energy, you are allowed to attach any type of energy to fulfill the colorless energy requirement. This means that you can attach any type of energy card, regardless of its energy type, and it will count as a colorless energy for the attack.

When you evolve your Pokemon, it does not remove all damage. Evolving a Pokemon only changes its form and potentially increases its stats, but it does not heal or remove any damage that the Pokemon has already taken. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The statement is true because in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, players are not allowed to evolve their Pokémon on their first turn or the same turn they put it into play. This rule is in place to maintain game balance and prevent players from immediately powering up their Pokémon without any effort or strategy. By enforcing this rule, players are encouraged to build their strategy over multiple turns and make thoughtful decisions about when to evolve their Pokémon.

In a Pokemon game, there are several ways to win, such as defeating all of your opponent's Pokemon, taking all of your prize cards, and having your opponent run out of cards in their deck. However, having no cards in their hand does not directly result in winning the game. While it may put the opponent at a disadvantage, they can still draw cards on their turn and continue playing. Therefore, this option is not a valid way to win the game.

The statement is true because in most card games, including traditional playing card games and collectible card games, there are usually limits on the number of cards with the same name that can be included in a deck. This is done to promote diversity and balance in gameplay, preventing players from creating overly powerful decks by including an excessive number of the same card.

The correct answer is because you played it, regardless of the success of the effect, you must discard it. This means that even though the effect of searching for Lanturn cannot be completed successfully, you still have to discard the Professor Elm's Training Method card because you played it.

When your opponent knocks out your active Pokémon on their turn, it becomes your turn. According to the rules of the game, you must first send out your next active Pokémon from your bench before you can start your turn. This means that you cannot draw a card to start your turn until you have chosen and placed your new active Pokémon on the field.

You are only allowed to have five Pokemon, plus your active, at the most in play.

In official events, it is customary to ask your opponent if they would like to "cut" your deck. This means that they have the option to take your deck and split it into two halves before the game begins. This practice ensures fairness and eliminates any potential advantage of having a stacked or manipulated deck. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

The correct answer is "No, you may only search for one half." This is because Ho-Oh LEGEND is considered as one Pokemon, but it consists of two halves. When using a PokeBall and flipping heads, you can only search for one half of Ho-Oh LEGEND, not both.

When a player knocks out their own Pokémon, it means that they intentionally remove their own Pokémon from play. In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, when a Pokémon is knocked out, the opponent takes a prize card as a reward. This rule applies regardless of whether the Pokémon was knocked out by the player's own actions or by the opponent's attacks. Therefore, even if a player intentionally knocks out their own Pokémon, their opponent still takes a prize card.

PokePowers can be used on the bench, meaning that players can activate the special abilities of their Pokemon even if they are not in the active battle position. This allows for strategic gameplay and the utilization of different powers and effects during a match.

The statement is indicating that you have the freedom to shuffle your deck at any time. The correct answer is "False" because in most card games, players are not allowed to shuffle their deck whenever they want. Shuffling is typically only allowed at specific times, such as at the beginning of the game or after a certain event occurs.

Evolving a Pokemon does indeed remove all status conditions such as poison and sleep. This means that when a Pokemon evolves, any negative status effects it had will be cured. Therefore, the statement is true.

The correct answer is "No, the game is over if he is unable to draw a card on his next turn." This is because in most card games, if a player runs out of cards, they are usually required to draw a card at the beginning of their turn. If they are unable to do so because there are no cards left in their deck, then they lose the game. Therefore, the game is not immediately over when a player runs out of cards, but rather when they are unable to draw a card on their next turn.

No, the opponent's active Pokémon does not take damage because of the Rocky Helmet. The Rocky Helmet only inflicts damage on the opponent when they attack the Pokémon holding it. In this scenario, the active Pokémon is burned and taking damage from that condition, not from the Rocky Helmet.

A poisoned Pokemon automatically takes 10 damage in between turns.

Yes, you are allowed to look through either player's discard pile whenever you want during the game. This means that you have access to the cards that have been discarded by both players, which can provide valuable information about their strategies, the cards they have played, and the cards they have yet to play. This can help you make more informed decisions and plan your own moves accordingly.

In the game of Pokemon Catcher, the player does have the ability to choose which benched Pokemon their opponent sends out. This gives the player strategic control over the game by allowing them to select the most advantageous Pokemon to face in battle. By selecting the opponent's Pokemon, the player can potentially exploit weaknesses or disrupt their opponent's strategy, giving them an advantage in the game.

The correct answer is that since you used the ability, you must choose a supporter. The Poke-POWER states that if you choose to look at your opponent's hand, you must choose a supporter card and use it as the effect of the ability. Therefore, you cannot terminate the effect without using a supporter.

The correct answer is "No, PlusPower only works on attacks that do damage already." This is because PlusPower specifically states that it adds 10 damage to an attack that already does damage. Since Cleffa's Eeeeeek attack does no damage, attaching PlusPower to Cleffa will not affect the damage output of the attack.

As of Black/White rules you may not skip a turn with Rare Candy.

The given correct answer states that all of the details about the SLEEP Condition are true. This means that when a Pokemon is asleep, it cannot retreat, it is turned 90 degrees to the left, and in between turns, the asleep Pokemon's owner flips a coin. If the coin lands on tails, the Pokemon is still asleep.

Yes, you still shuffle. Even though you have no cards in your hand, when you play Professor Oak's New Theory, the effect of the card still requires you to shuffle your deck. The card states that you shuffle your hand into your deck and then draw 6 cards. Therefore, even though you have no cards in your hand, you still need to shuffle your deck before drawing the new cards.

The statement is explaining that the paralyze effect, which is a condition that immobilizes a character, only lasts for one turn. It further states that the effect ends when the opponent starts their next turn. This implies that the paralyze effect does not carry over multiple turns and is temporary in nature. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

Yes, an Eviolite would reduce Zekrom's Bolt Strike damage to itself. The Eviolite card reduces any damage done to the Pokémon it is attached to by attacks by 20, after applying Weakness and Resistance. Since Bolt Strike does 40 damage to itself, the Eviolite would reduce this damage to 20, making it less harmful to Zekrom.

Multiple PlusPower cards can be used in a single turn. This allows players to increase the damage of their Pokémon by adding the effects of each PlusPower card played. Therefore, it is allowed to use more than one PlusPower at once.

The correct answer is No, you may only move as much damage as the Pokemon has HP. This is because the Damage Swap Poke-POWER allows you to move 1 damage counter from one of your Pokemon to another. However, you can only move as much damage as the receiving Pokemon has HP. Since Cleffa has 30HP, you cannot move 90 damage to it as it would exceed its HP and knock it out.

If a Rescue Energy card is attached to a Stage 2 Pokemon and that Pokemon gets knocked out, the effect of Rescue Energy allows you to put all of the stages of that Pokemon back into your hand. This means that you can retrieve not only the Stage 2 Pokemon itself, but also its previous evolution stages, allowing you to potentially re-evolve the Pokemon and continue using it in the game. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

In the given scenario, if a player forgets to perform an optional action like attacking or attaching an energy during their turn, they are allowed to ask their opponent if they can still do it. However, the opponent has the right to refuse and say "no." The correct answer states that the player can ask their opponent, but there is no guarantee that the opponent will allow them to perform the forgotten action.

The correct answer is "HeartGold/SoulSilver and newer." This means that in the current 2011-2012 season, players are allowed to use cards from the HeartGold/SoulSilver set and any newer sets that were released after it. Cards from the Diamond and Pearl, Platinum, and all other previous sets are not considered legal for use in this season.

Certain old versions of cards may be used if they have new reprint versions. However, sometimes if the text on the card has changed, a new card reference will be required.

The correct answer is "You have to pull as many as you can. So if you only have three, pull three." This is because the question asks whether you have to pull exactly 4 energy cards or if you can pull up to 4. The answer states that you have to pull as many as you can, indicating that if you have less than 4 energy cards in your discard pile, you can still use the Fisherman ability and pull the number of energy cards that you have.

No, Shaymin's ability is not activated. The ability specifically states that it activates when Shaymin is put from the hand to the bench. In this scenario, Shaymin was accidentally put on the bench directly, so the condition for the ability to activate was not met.

Bill is a card that allows you to draw two additional cards. Even though you have already drawn your cards for the turn, you still keep Bill in play until the end of your turn. This is because Bill's effect is continuous and lasts until the end of your turn, regardless of whether or not you have already drawn your cards. Therefore, you keep Bill in play and discard it at the end of your turn.

Pile shuffling is the best way to shuffle and keep track of your cards. It involves dividing the deck into multiple piles, typically six piles in this case. Each pile is then shuffled individually, ensuring that the cards are thoroughly mixed. This method allows for better card distribution and reduces the chance of clumping or stacking of cards. By keeping track of the piles, it becomes easier to maintain the original order of the cards or track specific cards during the shuffling process.
