Pokémon Trading Card Game Live is a free-to-play online collectable card game that succeeded Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, having migrated all of its accounts to the new client in the process.

Unused Text#

localization_en has unused lines of a tutorial referring to "kiosk2023" and mentions of half decks distributed among other events at PAX East 2023; it is unknown if said kiosk is PAX East, and if there was an exclusive demo of the game running there.

I already know how to play

kiosk2023_menu_prof1

Welcome to Pokémon Trading Card Game Live! Let's learn how to play the game!

kiosk2023_battle_prof0

To begin any match, you need to choose your first Pokémon to battle with.

kiosk2023_battle_prof1

You can attach one Energy card to one of your Pokémon each turn.

kiosk2023_battle_prof2

Remember to attach an Energy card each turn. You can attach to any of your Pokémon, not just the Active one.

kiosk2023_battle_prof3

Supporters are a kind of Trainer card. They have powerful effects!

kiosk2023_battle_prof4

Items are another kind of Trainer card.

kiosk2023_battle_prof5

Some cards let you search through your deck to find the card you need!

kiosk2023_battle_prof6

That's a powerful Pokémon! Special Pokémon such as Pokémon and Pokémon are strong, but they give up more Prize cards when they're Knocked Out!

kiosk2023_battle_prof7

There's one more thing we have to talk about: Evolution.

kiosk2023_battle_prof8

Now that it's your turn, you can play another Supporter card!

kiosk2023_battle_prof9

Your Active Pokémon has taken a lot of damage. But that's no problem. You can change which Pokémon is currently Active!

kiosk2023_battle_prof10

Looks like things are going well for me!

kiosk2023_battle_prof11

You're in a tight spot, but you have Supporters to help you out!

kiosk2023_battle_prof12

I think you drew exactly what you needed! Watch what happens.

kiosk2023_battle_prof13

Let's talk about attack effects. Some attacks do more than just cause damage.

kiosk2023_battle1_prof13.5

Your Umbreon 's attack did extra damage, because the attack has a special effect that hits harder if Umbreon is damaged!

kiosk2023_battle1_prof13.75

Unfortunately for me, my Lucario 's big attack cannot be used two turns in a row, so I have to use its weaker attack...

kiosk2023_battle1_prof14

...Which wasn't enough to Knock Out your Umbreon after you used that Potion!

kiosk2023_battle1_prof15

Wow, you learn fast! Let's put you to the test with another battle!

kiosk2023_battle1_prof16

I won't help you out this time. This will be a real battle!

kiosk2023_menu_prof4

For this battle, choose which deck you'd like to use.

kiosk2023_menu_deck1_body

The Lucario deck features massive attacks that come with a cost. Machamp can Knock Out many other Pokémon with its Dynamite Punch attack, but takes a lot of damage itself to do so.

kiosk2023_menu_deck2_body

The Umbreon deck has some surprises for your opponent. Umbreon V can prevent your opponent’s Pokémon from retreating, and can take advantage of already damaged Pokémon. Your opponent never knows how much danger they are in with cards that do damage based on coin flips, like Zoroark and Galarian Zigzagoon.

kiosk2023_menu_deck3_body

The Greninja deck features Pokémon that can attack quickly and hit hard. Sharpedo can do damage early while you build up to Inteleon’s devastating and disrupting Hydro Snipe attack.

The Legacy format from Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is also referenced, but does not exist in the new client:
