If you don’t have 60 cards to play with and you’re playing casually, ask your opponent if it’s OK to play with less than 60 cards in a deck. Make sure you and your opponent have the same amount of cards in your decks!
There is a special rule for EX and GX Pokémon. If you knock out an EX or GX Pokémon, you get to take two instead of one Prize Card. Contrary to popular belief, you do not take or keep your opponent’s Prize Cards. Once you knock out a Pokémon, you take Prize Cards from your own pile, and put them into your hand.
Contrary to popular belief, this step is mandatory. You do not have the option to choose whether you want to draw a card.
Some attacks require colorless energy. There are indicated by white stars, and can be any type of energy. Other attacks will require specific energy types.
The Sun and Moon rule for Burned is a little different. For the Sun and Moon Burned rule, put a Burned marker on it (the bandage marker), if your Pokémon is Burned. Between turns, put two damage counters on the Burned Pokémon. Then, that Burned Pokémon’s owner flips a coin. If heads, the Pokémon is no longer Burned, and you can remove the Burned marker. If tails, it stays Burned.
If the attack involves a coin flip, flip for the Confusion first.
