Pokemon TCG Online: 3 tips to help get you started

The Pokemon TCG Online is a great way to play Pokemon cards from home with players around the world, here are some tips to help get you started.

The Pokemon Trading Card game, or Pokemon TCG, has been around for over two decades now and is still played and enjoyed by many people. Classically, players had to find other players in person who had cards to play the game, but with the evolution of technology, players can now play against each other online.

The Pokemon Trading Card Game Online has actually been around for quite some time now. It is available for PC, Mac, and tablets. Unlike the traditional trading card game, it is entirely free to download and play. Players earn in game currency which can be spent on booster packs, theme decks, and other in game goodies. The online version of the game follows the official Pokemon TCG rules and plays the same as the paper card version. This being said, there are still a few things every new online player needs to know to make the most of their experience.

1. Complete the entire tutorial

The tutorial in this game comes in the form of “trainer challenges”, where the player faces off against AI controlled players. Even if you know how to play the game already, it is still worth beating all of these challenges because they earn you packs and in game currency. These challenges can be quite boring and monotonous, but the rewards are well worth the effort it takes to complete them.

2. Start with theme decks

The Pokemon TCG Online has four different formats: theme, standard, expanded, and legacy. The theme format only allows players to play theme decks. Players can buy these for 500 in game currency in the shop and they are also provided with a number of theme decks upon completing the tutorial. These decks are a great way to complete the daily in-game quests and earn currency to acquire new decks and booster packs.

3. Learn how to trade online

Since you cannot directly buy the cards you need online, learning how to trade for these cards is an important skill. It is important to note that not everything can be traded. Only packs, and cards from packs, that have been received from online events and redeemable codes can be traded. It is a good idea not to open these packs and save them for trades. Once you have decided on the cards you want, you can visit various websites to determine the value of these cards and try to find or create a reasonable trade.

Finally, be sure to find a deck you want to build and work towards getting those cards. Having a strong and fun deck is the most important part of enjoying the game.
