'''Coins''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコイン''' ''Pokémon Coin''), also officially recognized as '''metallic coins''', are ''one of two types of randomizers'' that players can use during a Pokémon Trading Card Game [[#Match|Match]]. The majority of official coins released are made of plastic with a metallic Pokémon design on the front. Coin flips (''Heads'' or ''Tails'') are an integral part of the game. They help determine which player starts a match and determine the effect on many cards. Coins have begun to fall out of favor among Pokémon players, who have gradually started to prefer the second officially recognized randomizer: '''dice (Six-sided Dice)''', for their utility and convenience, where the ''even number'' sides represent ''Heads'' and the ''odd number'' sides represent ''Tails''. | '''Coins''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコイン''' ''Pokémon Coin''), also officially recognized as '''metallic coins''', are ''one of two types of randomizers'' that players can use during a Pokémon Trading Card Game [[#Match|Match]].

An informal term referring to a action that is required to happen before the use of an effect. Some examples of cards that have costs are {{TCG ID|Sword & Shield|Cinncino|147}}'s '''Make Do''' [[#Ability|Ability]] and {{TCG ID|Team Up|Dangerous Drill|138}}. | |||

Generally held in the player’s hands, a player’s '''hand''' is the group of cards that only they are allowed to look at (not their opponent) and play from during their [[#Turn|Turn]]. At the beginning of a [[#Match|Match]], players take seven cards from the top of their respective [[#Deck|decks]] and places them into their hand. At the beginning of each player's turn, they take one card from the top of their respective decks and place it into their hand. Certain [[#Trainer card|Trainer cards]] and [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon cards]] have [[#Attack|Attacks]] or [[#Ability|Abilities]] that may also allow a player to draw a card or cards from their respective deck. | Generally held in the player’s hands, a player’s '''hand''' is the group of cards that only they are allowed to look at (not their opponent) and play from during their [[#Turn|Turn]].

Notably, players always have a hand, even if that hand has no cards in it. This allows players to pay for costs that require discarding their hand even in such a case. <ref>[https://compendium.pokegym.net/ruling/1842/ Compendium]</ref> | ||
