Pokemon Card Game Tips and Tricks - Nintendo - http://maxpages.com/thepkmnhq/cgtt

First you must understand how the game saves. The game automatically saves after each input command that you do. It does not save after your opponent attacks, only after you input. Use this to your advantage. If you get a result you don't like, just turn off the game, then turn it back on. Now you can try something else.

See all of your prizes
After you beat an opponent, select a prize. When you turn it back on you will be back to just before the attack. Attack again and select a different prize. Repeat this with all prizes and you can select the one you want/need.

Beat the coin flip
Coin flips in the game are NOT random. They are on some type of predetermined routine that you can take advantage of. If you have a Pokemon that has a damage attack and a coin flip attack then always try the status attack first. For example, if you have 2 Water energies on Lapras. You can do a 20 pt Water Gun or a 10 Confuse Ray attack. Try the Confuse Ray attack. If it's heads then you get the 10 pts damage and your opponent is confused. If you get tails, simply turn off the game as soon as the coin shows tails and start it again. Now do Water Gun. Don't bother with Confuse Ray because once
it's tails it will ALWAYS be tails. This can also be used with trainer cards. Once you know what the coin flip will be you can decide if you want to use cards like Gambler or Recycle.

Psychic Killer
The Meowth lv14 card is the ultimate in Psychic killers. Simply put him out when your opponent has alot of Psy Pokemon and he'll take out the benched characters. His Resistance keeps him safe and having some Potions and Defenders assures you an easy win. Four of this cards should be in your deck when you expect to face Psy decks.

Challenge Hall
Save the game before each battle. Now enter the battle and see what type of deck your opponent is using, Use the almighty Tip 1 to go back to before the battle and when you're asked if you want to prepare your deck, just say yes and choose a deck that is the stronger one. I suggest carrying a Fire Deck, Water Deck, Electric Deck, and Grass or Colorless deck. No one is resistant to Fire (and Ponyta and Magmar give you 30pts for 2 energy attacks); A decent raindance deck can beat any Fire deck in the game; The sheer amount of Pikachu cards gives good access to the killer Raichu card and most can Paralyze; and smart use of the "Team Rocket" cards Koffing/Weezing & Ekans/Arbok ca destroy anything short of a straight Fire deck.

Best Pokemon.
Scyther is clearly the best non-promo giving a 60 pt attack by turn two. Using a Scyther/Rattata/Spearow combination gives three zero retreat cost pokemon that cover loads of different opponents.

Multiple Legends.
To get more Legendary Cards, beat the Grand Masters again, and 1 randomly selected legendary card will be added to your collection. When I beat the four Grand Masters and I had 2 of every card, they said that there wasn’t any more to give so don’t expect to get a lot of those.
