Here's a comprehensive Battling Guide to Pokemon TCG Pocket:
Basics of Battling
•Deck Size: You build decks with 20 cards, focusing on Pokémon and Trainer cards as there are no Energy cards in your deck.
•Energy Zone: Energy is automatically generated once per turn in the Energy Zone. Use it wisely as unused energy does not carry over to the next turn.
•Objective: Win by scoring three points, which you get by knocking out your opponent's Pokémon. Pokémon ex give 2 points instead of 1 when knocked out.
Gameplay Mechanics: 
Turn Structure:
•Draw Phase: Start by drawing one card unless it's your first turn.
•Active Pokémon: You begin with one Active Pokémon and up to three on the Bench.
•Actions: You can attach energy, play Trainer cards, evolve Pokémon (only if it's been on the field for a turn), and attack.
•End of Turn: Once you've attacked, your turn ends.
Card Types:
•Pokémon: Include Basic, Stage 1, Stage 2, and Pokémon ex. Each has different HP, attacks, and sometimes abilities.
•Trainer Cards: Divided into Items (playable multiple times per turn) and Supporters (one per turn).
•Retreat: Retreat once per turn to swap your Active Pokémon with one from your Bench, but this costs energy.
Strategies for Battling:
Deck Building:
•Balance: Ensure your deck has a mix of attackers, defenders, and utility Pokémon. Don't over-diversify types unless you understand energy distribution well.
•Synergy: Look for Pokémon with abilities or attacks that complement each other, like those that can heal or boost damage.
•Energy Management: Since energy is limited to one per turn, plan your attacks and evolution around this constraint. Use Trainer cards like Energy Acceleration to bolster your energy if needed.
•Type Matchups: Understand type advantages; for example, Fire is strong against Grass but weak to Water. This knowledge can dictate your deck composition or when to switch Pokémon.
Tactical Play:
•Use Abilities: Some Pokémon have abilities that can be activated manually to gain an advantage, like healing or drawing cards.
•Item and Supporter Timing: Use Items and Supporters at the right time for maximum effect, like using a Poké Ball to fetch a key Pokémon or a Supporter to disrupt your opponent.
Unlocking Battles
•Leveling Up: You need to reach level 3 to unlock battles. Focus on opening packs and completing missions to gain XP.
