During their introduction in {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} and {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, Stadium cards were | During their introduction in {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} and {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, Stadium cards were specifically based on the [[Gym]]s presided over by [[Kanto]]'s [[Gym Leader]]s. However, later sets have increased the range of locations Stadium cards feature. Other locations from the core series games, ranging from recurring concepts like [[Pokémon Center (Next Destinies 90)|Pokémon Center]]s to specific dungeons like [[Mt. Coronet (Ultra Prism 130)|Mt. Coronet]] and towns like [[Spikemuth (Darkness Ablaze 170)|Spikemuth]] receive dedicated cards. Some Stadium cards even focus on locations original to the Trading Card Game, such as [[Holon Research Tower (EX Delta Species 94)|Holon Research Tower]], [[Fighting Stadium (Furious Fists 90)|Fighting Stadium]], and [[Giant Hearth (Unified Minds 197)|Giant Hearth]]. | ||
When a Stadium card is played, the card does not have an immediate effect before being discarded like {{TCG|Item card|Item}} and {{TCG|Supporter card}}s. Instead, a Stadium card stays in play, placed next to the Active Spot of the player. While a Stadium card is in play, the contents of its text box have an effect on the game state. | When a Stadium card is played, the card does not have an immediate effect before being discarded like {{TCG|Item card|Item}} and {{TCG|Supporter card}}s.

*Some Stadiums affect properties that players have. For example, [[Collapsed Stadium (Brilliant Stars 137)|Collapsed Stadium]] reduces the number of {{TCG|Benched Pokémon}} a player can have from five to four. In comparison, [[Sky Field (Roaring Skies 89)|Sky Field]] increases the number of allowed Benched Pokémon to eight. | *Some Stadiums affect properties that players have.

*Some Stadiums modify the effects of certain game actions. For instance, [[Sea of Nothingness (Crimson Invasion 99)|Sea of Nothingness]] changes how [[evolution]] works, as it prevents Pokémon from recovering from {{TCG|Special Condition}}s when they [[evolve]] or [[devolve]]. [[Skaters' Park (Fusion Strike 242)|Skaters' Park]] changes {{TCG|retreat cost|retreating}} to return {{TCG|Basic Energy}} used to pay for the {{TCG|retreat cost}} to their owner's [[hand]] instead of discarding them.

In some cases, this can prevent certain actions from occurring, such as how {{TCG ID|Chilling Reign|Dyna Tree Hill|135}} prevents Pokémon from healing. | ||
*Some Stadiums cause new events to happen. For example, while {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Frozen City|100}} is in play, either player attaching an Energy from their hand to a Pokémon causes two damage counters to be put on that Pokémon, unless its a {{TCG|Team Plasma}} Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Shrine of Punishment|143}} is another example, as it adds a new part to Pokémon Checkup where all {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} and {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} receive a damage counter. | *Some Stadiums cause new events to happen.
