Check your prizes:
When you defeat your opponent's Pokemon, you can draw a prize. Draw a prize then turn off your game. Turn it back on, then press Start at the title screen.

Different cards in Challenge Cup:
When you are in the Challenge Cup, save the game after defeating the second to the last opponent. After you defeat the opponent and win a card, if it is one that you already have or do not want, shut off the game and continue from the save. You should be at the very last opponent. After you defeat him there will be a different card than the last time. Note: Continue this if needed.

Imanuki card:
Go to each club lounge until you find Imakuni. Then battle him to get four booster packs for each victory. However, he may instead give you his Imakuni card. Repeat this until you have most of the cards needed to build a healthy deck.
You can use the Imanuki card to cure all status problems. If your Pokemon is affected by a special condition such as Poison or Sleep, play the Imanuki card to cure those problems. You will be confused, but can always get heads on the coin by pressing the A button when it is on Pikachu's face.
Always fight Imanuki:
Go to one of the Card Clubs (Lightning, Fire, Water or Fighting clubs) and save your game in the middle of the medal picture.

When you defeat him, save your game and turn it off again. Note: Every time you save your game and turn it off, the next time you turn it back on Imakuni will be in any of those four clubs. Note: You have to talk to the girl in the Fighting club in order for him to appear.
Promo Slowpoke card:
Once you have collected many energies, go to the Fire Club. There will be a person standing by the bookshelf. He will ask you to give all of your extra energy cards that you do not have in your decks. He will then tell you to go two spaces left of the bookshelf (at the picture). Press A to get a promotional Slowpoke card, which can use Amnesia and Headbutt. Amnesia calls for two Psychic Energy cards. Headbut does 10 damage and uses one of any kind of energy card.

Free booster pack:
To get a free booster pack, go to your PC.

To get the easiest booster packs, fight the girl on the left where the leader is in the Water gym. She has two prizes and always brings out Staryu, Dratini, and Goldeen. Be sure to make a very good Lightning deck. She will only give you two Coliseum packs. Every booster contains a free Gyardos and Diglett; you will find a good selection.
Go to a club and talk to the master. Then, go to a computer to get an easy booster pack, even if you have already gotten that mail.

Peek at prizes:
To look at all of your prizes in your duel, defeat the defending Pokemon and look at one of your prizes. Then, either reset the game or shut it off. Select "Continue Duel" and defeat the same Pokemon again and look at other prizes. Repeat this until you see all of your prizes.
Charizard card:

Gyarados card:

Mew card:
There is a Mew card with a purple background that looks just like the non lvl 2 version. It can be only acquired through Card Pop, and is extremely rare and powerful.
Easy medals:
When you have a lot of cards and not a lot of medals, make a deck of Pokemon cards that is strong against the medal you want. For example, if you want the Fire Medal make a deck of Water Pokemon. Note: This trick does not work well for the Psychic Medal, because Psychic is weak against Psychic.
Easy win:
If your opponent sends out Kangashkahn as their first Pokemon, you can easily win by attacking Kangashkahn until it has a few HP remaining. Your opponent will most likely have one energy card attached to Kangashkahn, and will use the attack Fetch. If you do not attack Kangashkahn and knock it out, your opponent will keep drawing cards until they have no cards remaining in their deck.
