StadiumBeginner to play

What this card does

The card stays in play as a Stadium effect.

Any player attaching Energy from their hand to a non-Team Plasma Pokemon takes 2 damage.

What it does

Frozen City

Whenever any player attaches an Energy from his or her hand to 1 of his or her Pokémon (excluding Team Plasma Pokémon), put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon.

This card changes the rules of the game for everyone. It forces players to think carefully before moving energy because doing so hurts their own Pokemon.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on playing Energy cards frequently from hand. It also works well in mirror matches where both sides use similar strategies.

Strengths
  • Disrupts opponent
  • Self-damage risk
  • Universal effect
Watch out for
  • Hurts own team
  • No effect on Team Plasma
  • Requires hand energy
Pro tip

Check if the target Pokemon is a Team Plasma type before attaching energy to avoid accidental damage.

Good to know

Stadium cards set the stage for the battle and affect how all players must play.

Note for the parent

Ask your child if they are attaching energy from their hand this turn, as it will cause damage to their Pokemon.
