Status Conditions in the Original Game

Special conditions in Pokemon TCGP correspond to "status conditions" in the original Pokemon games. In Pokemon TCGP, all Pokemon affected by a special condition are put at a disadvantage.

Can Be Cured by Meeting Conditions

Only Pokemon in battle can become affected by special conditions. Any deck can use "retreat" to return to the Bench, allowing the special condition to be cured. Additionally, when a Pokemon evolves, it cures all special conditions and negative effects.

How to Cure Special Conditions

• Return to the Bench
• Evolve
• Use an Attack, Ability, or card that has curing effects.
