This card stays in play until another Stadium card is played.

It lowers the retreat cost of your Psychic Pokemon by two Colorless Energy.

What it does

Phoebe's Stadium

This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can't play this card. Each player pays ColorlessColorless less to retreat his or her Psychic Pokémon.

Stadium cards change the rules for both players while they are active. This card helps you move your Psychic Pokemon to safety more cheaply, but be aware that your opponent can also benefit from it.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks built around Psychic type Pokemon that need to avoid attacks. It works best when you expect your opponent to use other Stadium cards less frequently.

Strengths
  • Reduces retreat costs
  • Stays in play
  • Helps Psychic types
Watch out for
  • Opponent benefits too
  • Discarded by other Stadiums
  • Cannot be played if already active
Pro tip

Check the bench before attacking to see if your opponent can retreat their Pokemon easily thanks to this card.

Good to know

Stadium cards represent locations that affect the entire battlefield rather than a single Pokemon.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that if their opponent plays a different Stadium card, this one will be discarded and the retreat cost benefit will end.
