What happens if you don't draw any Basic Pokemon in TCG?
Honestly, if you don't draw a Basic Pokemon to start, it's just a bump in the road. You reshuffle and go again. But remember, each reshuffle means your opponent's getting an extra card, kinda like a small penalty. Played a game where this happened 5 times in a row - my opponent ended up with a hefty starting advantage!

If you don't draw any Basic Pokemon at the start of a Pokemon TCG game, you're basically in a bit of a pickle. The rules say you gotta show your hand to your opponent, shuffle it back into your deck, and draw a new hand of 7 cards. And for your troubles, your opponent gets to draw an extra card. It's like the game's way of saying 'better luck next time, pal.' Keep doing this until you snag a Basic Pokemon to start the game.
No Basic Pokemon in your starting hand means reshuffle & try again. Your opponent gets a bonus card each time you do.
Just reshuffle, no biggie. But seriously, tweak your deck to have enough Basics. Getting stuck in the reshuffle loop is a sign.
