Starting Plains
A Stadium card that makes all Basic Pokemon tougher by adding 20 HP to everyone.
What this card does
The Starting Plains card is a Trainer card of the Stadium type.
It applies a rule where every Basic Pokemon in play gains 20 extra Hit Points.
This increase affects both your own Pokemon and those controlled by your opponent.
Starting Plains
Each Basic Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponent's) gets +20 HP.
This card boosts the durability of all Basic Pokemon on the field. It matters because it turns battles into longer endurance tests where both sides need more damage to knock out their opponents.
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that rely on Basic Pokemon and want to survive longer in combat. You might include it if you prefer a slower game where survival is key.
- •Increases durability
- •Affects all Basic Pokemon
- •Fair for both players
- •Helps the opponent too
- •Only affects Basic Pokemon
- •Slows down the game
Use this card when your Basic Pokemon are weak and need extra health to stay in the fight.
Plains are wide open grassy areas where many Basic Pokemon like Rattata and Pidgey can be found.
Remember that the HP boost applies to your child's Pokemon as well as their opponent's, so it is a fair advantage for both sides.
