This is something I thought was interesting was how the odds can be flipped to the offensives side if the opposition is stronger than they are. And then there's calling in the big guns...
Each Pokemon can move & Attack by the arrows that are alined upon the pokemon (different color arrows mean they can move in so many directions.) Every Pokemon has 2 modes. Normal and Critical. (Victini has 3 more for a total of five) IF victini is taken down, the game's over for the other side.
But even if you are losing Pokemon, you can make a come back...by calling for Zekrom or Reshiram to the battlefield, adding them to the war and attacking up to two pokemon at once for a highly destructive onslot.
IF your attacking and is on the loosing end of the deal (or draw) then use a power up card...beware since 0 is in the deck as well as 70 to hope for.
I hope that helped.
