Pixelmon TCG

Pixelmon TCG (Pixelmon Trading Card Game) is a Pixelmon sidemod that brings the Pokémon Trading Card Game to Pixelmon, with cards, booster packs, and computer-mediated game boards.

Installation

Pixelmon TCG is currently in closed alpha testing; it is not yet available for public download.

Pixelmon TCG is compatible with Pixelmon versions 4.2 and up. It must be installed both server-side and client-side to be used.

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.

After obtaining a printer, 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. Below are the recipes for common, uncommon, rare, holo-rare and ultra-rare blank Fire cards (respectively)

Different items are used for obtaining other TCG types. The items required for each Energy type and rarity are displayed below.

Energy type	Common/Uncommon	Rare	Holo-rare/Ultra-rare
Fire	Fire Stone Shard	Fire Stone	Fire Gem
Grass	Leaf Stone Shard	Leaf Stone	Grass Gem
Water	Water Stone Shard	Water Stone	Water Gem
Lightning	Thunder Stone Shard	Thunder Stone	Electric Gem
Fighting	Brick	Bricks	Fighting Gem
Psychic	Dawn Stone Shard	Dawn Stone	Psychic Gem
Colorless	Shiny Stone Shard	Shiny Stone	Normal Gem
Darkness	Dusk Stone Shard	Dusk Stone	Dark Gem
Steel	Iron Ingot	Block of Iron	Steel Gem
Dragon	Sun Stone Shard	Sun Stone	Dragon Gem
Fairy	Moon Stone Shard	Moon Stone	Fairy Gem

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.

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 the Base Set are supported.

Building a deck

After obtaining enough cards, a deck can be built using the cards and a deck holder. A deck holder can either be bought from a shopkeeper or crafted.

Battling

A battle can be started by using a Pixelmon BattleBox while holding a valid card deck (more details in official rulebook) which will be used in the battle.

Battle rule is the same as in official Pokemon Trading Card Game.

Below are current limitations of TCG battles:

• To stop an ongoing battle, the BattleBox must be destroyed, the server must be restarted, or both participants have to leave the server and rejoin.
• The initial hand will be redrawn until there is a basic-stage Pokémon in the hand.
• Almost all cards and attacks of Base Set and Jungle are implemented. The current development status of each card/attack/ability can be followed here.
