StadiumBeginner to play

What this card does

This card is placed in play as a Stadium effect.

It forces both players to ignore any Abilities on their Pokémon-GX and Pokémon-EX cards.

What it does

Power Plant

Pokémon-GX and Pokémon-EX in play (both yours and your opponent’s) have no Abilities.

This card stops powerful effects like VMAX or GX attacks from working. It levels the playing field by removing special powers that might otherwise decide the game.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on basic moves rather than special abilities. It is useful when you want to stop an opponent's strong Pokémon-GX cards from using their unique skills.

Strengths
  • Disables powerful effects
  • Levels the playing field
  • Prevents special attacks
Watch out for
  • Ignored by non-GX/EX cards
  • Can be replaced by other Stadiums
  • Does not stop regular attacks
Pro tip

Play this card early to stop your opponent from using their strongest Pokémon abilities right away.

Good to know

Power Plants are facilities that generate electricity for cities and towns.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that this card stays in play until someone plays another Stadium card to replace it.
