Pokémon Battle Chess: Difference between revisions

Each player starts with two {{p|Patrat}}, two {{p|Zoroark}}, one {{p|Serperior}}, one {{p|Emboar}}, one {{p|Samurott}}, and one [[Pokémon egg|egg]] containing {{p|Victini}}. Each player also has {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} pieces four times the size of normal pieces that can only be placed in certain circumstances. The aim of the game is to <!--beat all of the opponent's Pokémon without being able to place Reshiram or Zekrom, or to-->beat the opponent's {{p|Victini}}.

Pieces are only allowed to move and attack in certain directions. Unlike chess, there is a concept of power: if the attacker has more power than the defender, then it attacks instantly. If it has less or equal, it draws a Power Plus card, boosting the power +0, +20 or +70 (note +0 is in the deck twice). If a +70 is drawn or if the deck runs out, all the cards get shuffled back into the deck immediately. If the attacking Pokémon has more power after the Plus Power, the defender is damaged; if the defender has more, the attacker is damaged. If they have the same power after the Plus Power, no one is damaged.  

When pieces are damaged for the first time, they are turned over and the second time they are damaged, they are removed. Victini and its egg are an exception. The egg can be damaged three times, each time a part going out of play, then the Victini hatches and behaves like a normal piece. Usually power is lowered after damage but Emboar and Victini's power is raised.
