RULES HELP

FAQ & Clarifications

Common clarifications from early playtesting. The rulebook remains the primary reference.

Is the Paragon part of the deck?

No. The Paragon exists outside the deck in the Paragon Zone and does not count toward deck construction limits.

What is the difference between Master, Apex, and Paragon?

The Master is your persistent identity creature. The Apex is your single high-tier deck centerpiece. The Paragon is your once-per-game external endgame finisher.

Can V, GX, ex, and EX cards be used freely?

No. These cards may only exist as the designated Apex under the current format structure.

Can Paragons be Mega, VMAX, or VSTAR?

Yes. Under v6.7, Paragons may only be Mega, VMAX, or VSTAR style finishers.

Do Item cards work on other players' turns?

Yes. Items are treated as instant-speed interaction during legal response windows.

Do Pokemon attacks or Abilities trigger Healing Echo?

No. Healing caused by Pokemon attacks, Abilities, or passive effects does not trigger Healing Echo.

What happens when my Active Pokemon is Knocked Out?

You must immediately choose a Benched Pokemon you control and move it to the Active Spot if able, regardless of whose turn it is.
