During play, any [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon]] that are not considered to be the [[#Active Pokémon|Active Pokémon]] may be put onto the '''Bench''' (Japanese: ベンチ ''Bench''). These are classed as '''Benched Pokémon''' (Japanese: ベンチポケモン ''Bench Pokémon''), of which each player can have no more than five at a time. They cannot [[#Attack|Attack]] or [[#Retreat|Retreat]], but they may be able to use [[#Ability|Abilities]], [[#Poké-POWER|Poké-POWERS]] and [[#Poké-BODY|Poké-BODIES]] if they do not state that the Pokémon must be [[#Active Pokémon|Active]] to use them, and they can also be switched out into the Active position if the current Active Pokémon retreats. Some attacks allow a Pokémon to deal [[#Damage|Damage]] to the opponent's Benched Pokémon (and some even deal damage to the player's own Benched Pokémon). In these cases, [[#Weakness|Weakness]] and [[#Resistance|Resistance]] are not applied to the Benched Pokémon. Unlike Active Pokémon, a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} card cannot be played in order to Level Up a Benched Pokémon. | During play, any [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon]] that are not considered to be the [[#Active Pokémon|Active Pokémon]] may be put onto the '''Bench''' (Japanese: ベンチ ''Bench'').
