Stage 1 Pokémon (TCG): Difference between revisions

A Stage 1 Pokémon can be placed on top of any related Basic Pokémon in play (including [[Fossil#In the TCG|Fossils]] or Pokémon that have [[Evolution (TCG)|evolved]] from {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Baby Pokémon}}) at any time before the player's attack. Stage 1 Pokémon cannot evolve on the turn the [[Basic Pokémon (TCG)|Basic Pokémon]] was played, or on the player's first turn.  When placed onto the Basic Pokémon card, all [[Energy card (TCG)|Energy Cards]], [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Damage|damage counters]] and other attached cards remain, but any {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Special Conditions}} or effects on the Pokémon are removed. Stage 1 Pokémon may only use their Stage 1 attacks unless their card specifically states otherwise.  Stage 1 Pokémon cards will generally state 'Stage 1' and have a picture of the Basic Pokémon from which they evolve in the upper left-hand corner or the left center of the card, along with the text 'Evolves from <Basic Pokémon>'.  Stage 1 Pokémon can be removed from the Basic Pokémon by use of [[Devolution]].
