Instructions on how to use your
Gym (Stadium) cards
Do you have Pokémon Gym Cards
and don't know how to use them? Here's a quick explanation
on them:
The Pokémon used in the Gym
editions have an icon on them of a certain Gym leader
(Brock, Misty, Erika, etc.)
The Gym Edition includes a new type
of card, a Stadium card, which is in the form of a Trainer
card. When you play a stadium, it is not put in the discard
pile afterwards like a regular Trainer, but is instead
placed on the side of the playing area. There can only be
one stadium in play. If you play a stadium when another
stadium is in play, the one in play gets discarded. You
can't also voluntarily discard a stadium (like how you can
discard a Clefairy Doll at any time).
These stadium cards have certain
effects to certain Pokémon. Take the Pewter City Gym
card for example. As long as that card is in play, when ever
a Brock's Pokémon attacks, that damage is unaffected
by the Defending Pokémon's resistance. The Pewter
City Gym can only effect Brock's Pokémon, and no
other gym leader's Pokémon.
Other Gyms just have general
permanent effects which don't target a specific Gym
Leader. "Protection Gym" for example forces both players to
discard two Energy cards when ever that player uses an
Energy Removal or Super Energy Removal. With the Gym, this
kind of effect stays in the game forever (until another
player plays a Gym card).
Kind of a cool game mechanic,
huh?
