Failure to take a call for step in Pokemon
It depends whether you are playing casually or in an official tournament. For tournaments, it also depends on its type - beginner-friendly Tier&nbsp;1 tournaments like League Challenges are different to Tier&nbsp;2 tournaments where players are expected to abide by the rules all the time.


In casual play, both players have to agree on the resolution of the game state, i.e.


ignore the mistake
try to rewind the game state to the point before the mistake
the opposing player draws a Prize card (or more of them)
player who made the mistake loses

In tournaments, everything depends on the official judge (or more of them) - they are the only ones who can rule the resolution of the game state. In addition to possible resolutions above, they can also give a Caution or a Warning to one or both players.

The main document for judges is Pokémon TCG Penalty Guidelines, available from Rules &amp; Resources page of official website.



  A coin was suppose to be toss and if tails the Pokemon could not attack. I failed to (overlook) the toss, several turns later I realize my mistake.


Using Penalty Guidelines from October 2019, the actual resolution depends on "rewindability" and overall damage of the game state. Because several turns have passed, the problem would probably fall into 8.1.2. Gameplay Error - Major, but might also be closer to 8.1.3. Gameplay Error - Severe.

Both players are responsible for maintaining the game state. If the game state is irreversibly broken, the opponent might get a penalty for 8.1. Gameplay Error as well.

The actual penalties strongly depend on the particular situation.
