==Overview==
Pixelmon TCG adds various items and blocks to the game in order to facilitate the collecting of, trading of, and playing of the Pokémon TCG within Pixelmon. 
===Getting started===
Upon first joining a server, a player will not have any Pixelmon TCG cards yet. In order to get started, booster packs can be bought with [[PokéDollars]] from a [[shopkeeper]] within a [[town]]. Alternatively, a [[camera]] can be used to take [[photos]], which can then be printed into cards using blank cards and a printer.
====Printing cards====
After acquiring a [[photo]] of a Pokémon, a printer is needed to make the photo into a card.

|A3=Aluminum Plate|B3=Ink Sac|C3=Aluminum Plate
|Output=TCG_Printer
|B3-link={{mclink|Dye}}

}}


After obtaining a printer, [[File:Grid_Blank_Fire_Card_%28uncommon%29.png|16px|link=Pixelmon TCG/Blank_Cards]][[Pixelmon TCG/Blank_Cards|blank cards]] can be combined with photos to create Pixelmon TCG cards. There are different types of blank cards depending on the energy type and rarity of the card.

Putting a blank card and a photo into a printer will produce a card of the Pokémon depicted in the photo. A blank card can also be placed in a printer without a photo, creating an energy card. Trainer cards cannot be printed yet.

A card can only be created if its energy type, rarity, and Pokemon match an existing card in a supported set of TCG cards; at the moment, only cards in [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Base_Set_(TCG) Base Set], [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Jungle_(TCG) Jungle] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fossil_(TCG) Fossil] are supported.
====Building a deck====
Cards can be stored in a {{i|Deck holder|1}} or a {{i|Card binder|1}}. Deck holders can hold a maximum of 60 cards and can be used in battle. Card binders can store a larger number of cards but cannot be used in battle. Both of them can be bought from a [[shopkeeper]].

====Battling====
A battle can be started by using a {{i|PixelmonTCG BattleBox|1}} while holding a valid card deck (more details in the [http://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/pdf/trading-card-game/rulebook/xy8-rulebook-en.pdf TCG official rulebook]) which will be used in the battle.

Battle rules are the same as in the official [http://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/pdf/trading-card-game/rulebook/xy8-rulebook-en.pdf Pokémon Trading Card Game].

Below are current limitations of TCG battles:
*To stop an ongoing battle, the BattleBox must be destroyed.
*All cards and attacks in [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Base_Set_(TCG) Base Set], [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Jungle_(TCG) Jungle] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fossil_(TCG) Fossil] are implemented. The current development status of each card/attack/ability can be followed [https://1drv.ms/x/s!Ag7PGybTsDgL8s5OXB7rebOgEfq1wQ here].
