How to read Pokemon Card stats
Reading Pokemon cards is pretty straightforward! Each card will show the Pokemon's name at the top, then below that you've got the HP (Hit Points) indicating how much damage it can take before being knocked out. The type of Pokemon is shown with a symbol near the name or HP. You'll see the attacks listed in the middle section, which tell you how much damage they do, and sometimes they require a certain type or amount of Energy cards to use. Near the bottom, there's often a description of special abilities or rules for that Pokemon. And don't forget the rarity symbol and the card number at the bottom right, super useful for collectors!

Just look at the pictures, dude. If it looks cool, it's probably strong. ?
Pro tip: Besides the obvious attack damage and HP, always check the Energy cost for attacks. Some powerful moves require a lot of Energy, making them slow to start. And special abilities can turn the tide of a battle, so don't overlook those!
