18 Types

Ground. Fighting. Rock. All 3 different types.

Each type is unique.

Not only do they have their own weakness/ resistance.

Each type also have their special energy, only Pokemon with that type can use.

Emphasis on Type Mix

We encourage you to build a deck with multiple types. That help you counter different situation.

This is not possible in the past. We still keep the energy cost required with specific type. Not all become colourless. The trick lay in the basic energy: each basic energy is potentially a rainbow energy. The rule is you cannot have 2 "basic rainbow energy" in play

Special Energy

I have introduced a new mechanism for special energy.

Many of them are one-off effect. To mark this as used, reverse the energy card.

In the past these effect is activated when you attach the energy. But this is numb. Because you don't need the effect when you attach the energy. You want to trigger it later. So, this mechanic make it possible.

Duel Type Mechanism

Secondary type is activated when the Pokemon is attached with that type of Energy Card. i.e. 大力蛙 is Fighting, with Water as Secondary Type. When it is attached with Water Energy (Basic water or Special water), it is both Fighting and Water

Which means, you can choose to attach as Water type to attack Fire Type Pokemon.

And also, when Bug Pokemon resist Fighting, you can use Water to avoid the Fighting resistance.

Retreat

To make the game space larger, No need to discard Energy during retreat. But you need to have the required energy attached to retreat.

Special Condition

Special Conditions are not recovered during evolution. Easy to recover made it too numb to use those attack in the past.

To make the game space larger, Special Condition can be on Benched Pokemon. Except Paralyse, Confused, Sleep.

New special status are introduced: Leeching, Cursed. Freezed.

Paralyse

Cannot retreat.
How to recover? Flip a coin when your turn end. If heads, recover.

Confuse

Need to discard energy equal to the retreat cost to retreat.
When attack, flip a coin. If tails, your opponent choose which attack you use. (When they choose the attack that the pokemon do not have enough energy cost. It cannot attack)
How to recover? 1) Retreat to recover. or 2) Give up attack to recover

Sleep

Leeching

Evolution after KO opponent

Encourage non-final stage to attack. When they KO opponent by attack, search your deck it's evolution and put on it.

Mitigate for bad draw

We always attach 1 energy and use 1 Supporter card per turn, as long as we have these card in hand. It hurt so much when you dont get those cards. So, the new rule let you draw an extra card if you dont attach any energy/ use any supporter during your turn. You can draw 2 extra cards if you dont do both.

Extra basic Pokemon in game start

Each player can find an extra basic pokemon from deck after knowing the opponent pokemon during game start. This opens up a type-counter strategy to players.
