 Generally held in the player’s hands, a player’s '''Hand''' is the group of cards that only he or she is allowed to look at (not his or her opponent) and play from during his or her [[#Turn|Turn]]. At the beginning of a [[#Match|Match]], players take seven cards from the top of their respective [[#Deck|decks]] and places them into their hand. At the beginning of each turn, players take one card from the top of their respective decks and also place it into their hand. Certain [[#Trainer card|Trainer cards]] and [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon cards]] have [[#Attack|Attacks]] or [[#Ability|Abilities]] that may also allow a player to draw a card or cards from their respective deck.

-'''Hit Points''', shown on a [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon card]] as '''HP''' (Japanese: {{tt|ＨＰ|エイチピー}} ''HP''), represent the health of each Pokémon card and the amount of [[#Damage|Damage]] it can take before being [[#Knocked Out|Knocked Out]]. Most Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] have between 30 and 180 HP, and some, such as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}, {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}, usually have between 100 and 280 HP. Some [[#Ability|Abilities]] and [[#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] cards will increase the number of Hit Points a Pokémon has, although these effects are usually temporary and only give an extra 10-30 HP. The lowest used HP value on Pokémon is 30 HP, cards like {{TCG|Magikarp}}, {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, and other 'lower level' Pokémon; while [[Snorlax VMAX (Sword & Shield 142)|Snorlax]]{{VMAX}} has the highest Hit Points: 340 HP. Certain [[#Trainer card|Trainer cards]] also have HP, like {{TCG ID|Base Set|Clefairy Doll|70}} and {{TCG ID|Fossil|Mysterious Fossil|62}} having only 10 HP while {{TCG ID|CD|Dance! Neo Imakuni?|promo}} has the highest value: 2000 HP.

+'''HP''' (Japanese: {{tt|ＨＰ|エイチピー}} ''HP''), short for '''Hit Point''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒットポイント}}''' ''Hit Point''), represents the health of each {{TCG|Pokémon}} card. This is the amount of [[#Damage|Damage]] it can take before being [[#Knocked Out|Knocked Out]]. This value is a multiple of 10. A Pokémon's damage is tallied up by way of damage counters, each counter representing 10 damage. For example, if a Pokémon with 120 HP has 3 damage counters, that is equivalent to 30 HP damage, with 90 HP still remaining for this Pokémon. If a Pokémon has lost all their HP (for instance, a Pokémon with 120 HP with twelve or more damage counters on it), it is Knocked Out. Once a Pokémon card is Knocked Out, it and all cards attached are sent to the discard pile, and the opponent takes one of their Prize cards.
