What is a TCG?

Online Trading Card Games are similar to the trading cards you knew as a child. Rather than playing in person and collecting cards from packs at the store, you collect everything online. The goal is to collect all of the cards you like, also know as mastering a deck. Online TCGs are free to play, a lot of fun, and very addictive! Interested in joining? Check out the rest of this section before moving on to the join form!

Trade Post

Before you join, you need a place to store your stuff, also know as a trade post. To make life easier for you and for your fellow TCG members, you should separate your cards--at least into groups of keeping and trading. You are also required to keep a detailed card log, showing how you got every card. The final thing you need on your site is a way to contact you, either a form or an email link, so you can trade.

Levels by Collecting

When you join Elite Trainer, you begin at Youngster and work your way up through the levels. The requirements for each level are posted here. The rewards for leveling up are 1 regular card(s) of choice, 2 random regular cards, and 1 random puzzle cards

Levels by Card Worth

For every 100 cards you obtain you can gain a level. There are no badges to display, but you can still gain a reward. You gain 3 random cards for each level.

Mastering

Mastering Decks here is a little unique.
Regular Decks can be mastered up to 10 times each. Times 1-4 you may take the Silver Master Badge. Times 5-9 you may take the Platinum Master Badge. On your 10th Mastery, you can request a custom made master badge.
Puzzle Decks can only be mastered once. As a note: All cards are worth 1. Puzzles are stated as 2 on the site just to help with the randomizer.

Items

While playing games and participating in other activities, there are certain items that you can obtain.

Poké Coins

These coins can be earned only by playing games. You can spend them at the Poké Mart.

Type Packs

These packs are earned randomly in the game. Packs will award you 2 cards for that specific type as well as a puzzle card.

Rainbow Pack and Rainbow Gem

These items are pretty rare. The Rainbow Pack is only available in the Poké Mart and can be redeemed for 5 regular cards and 2 puzzle cards. Rainbow Gems can obtained from a few games and the Poké Mart. If you trade in a Rainbow Gem with a Type Pack, you can obtain a choice card from that specific type. There are a few other things you trade them for so keep an eye out.


Trading

For every card that you trade, you get a Trade Candy. (Note that trading Friend Cards does not grant a candy.) For every 30 candies that you collect, you get a Rainbow Pack. For every 10 Friend Cards that you collect, you'll get 2 random Type Packs and 2 random cards.
