A Stage 1 Pokémon can be placed on top of any basic Pokémon in play (including [[Fossil#In the TCG|Fossils]] or Pokémon that have [[Evolution (TCG)|evolved]] from {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Baby Pokémon}}) at the beginning of the player's turn.  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]] and [[Glossary (TCG)#Damage|damage counters]] remain, but any {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Special Conditions}} are removed. Stage 1 Pokémon may only use their Stage 1 attacks, unless their card specifically states otherwise.  Stage 1 Pokémon normally have a picture of the Basic Pokémon from which they evolve in the upper left hand corner 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|Devolution]].
