Out of the three status conditions in Pokemon TCG Pocket , Sleep is the biggest nuisance by far. While there is only one way to cure it, unlucky players could have it cost them the game. Here is everything to know about Sleep in Pokemon TCGP and how to cure it.
When a Pokemon in TCG Pocket is inflicted with the Sleep status, that Pokemon is unable to perform any attacks, or abilities, or retreat back to the bench. Until it can be cured, your snoozing Pokemon is essentially a sitting duck in your active spot.
There are only two ways to cure Sleep in Pokemon TCG Pocket overall: getting Heads on a coin toss that occurs each turn or evolving it.
The turn-based coin toss is a status check to see if your Pokemon will overcome its affliction or not. Debido a que un lanzamiento de monedas se realiza una vez durante cada turno tanto para usted como para tu oponente, un Pokémon podría curarse de sueño en tan solo un turno.
Por otro lado, en comparación con la parálisis y los estados de veneno, los desventajas desafortunadas podrían llevar a que un Pokémon activo sea inútil al estar dormido para turnos consecutivos.
Si bien puede tomarse el tiempo para configurar a sus atacantes alternativos en el banco o esperar que tire de un Pokémon de la próxima etapa para evolucionarlo, su oponente puede configurar lo que necesitan mucho más rápido, o incluso dañar su Pokémon lo suficiente como para desmayarse y anotar un punto extra.
The secret third way to cure Sleep status in Pokemon TCGP is by using the Koga Trainer card, which allows you to return a snoozing Weezing or Muk to your hand. However, this card is only applicable to those two Pokemon.
