What to Use as Damage Counters in Pokemon TCG?
Honestly, anything small and plentiful works as damage counters in the Pokemon TCG. I've seen people use coins, beads, even small pieces of paper or LEGO bricks. As long as it's clear what they represent and both players agree, go for it! Just remember they need to be small enough not to crowd the playing area.

Dice. Simple, effective, and you probably have a bunch lying around anyway. Plus, they double as a way to keep track of larger amounts of damage without needing a mountain of counters.
Honestly, just stick with the official damage counters if you can. They're designed for the game, so no confusion and they look the part. You can usually pick them up from any set or ask around; plenty of players have spares.
Hot take: you don't need fancy counters. Torn bits of paper do the job. It's all about the game, not the gear.
