How do damage counters work in Pokemon TCG?
In the Pokemon TCG, damage counters are a way to keep track of the damage your Pokemon have taken during a battle. Each damage counter represents 10 damage. So, if your Pokemon gets hit with an attack that does 30 damage, you'd place 3 damage counters on it. It's a simple system that helps players quickly see how much damage each Pokemon has taken. Just remember, when the damage equals or exceeds a Pokemon's HP, it's knocked out!

Just think of damage counters as the Pokemon TCG's version of keeping score. Every time your Pokemon gets hit, you slap on damage counters equivalent to the damage dealt, divided by 10. Got hit for 60? That's 6 counters. Easy peasy.
Damage counters? Overrated. Real pros memorize.
