I have a Machop, Machoke, and Machamp.
Lets say i wanted to battle with my Machamp. Is it legal to throw him out there, or do i have to evolve him from machop first?
How does that work....
Is one allowed to start with an evolved version, or do you have to start with its lowest form and evolve it into the one you want.
Thanks!
Players are forced towards starting with lowest Basic form (as currently legal).
FAST METHOD:
Machop, as a FIST type, can combo with a Korrina card (supporter).
Using a Korrina allows one to search for a FIST Pokemon *monster* card (Machop, Machoke, or Machamp in your case), as well as one item. deck then gets shuffled.
Other simple options to go Machop-to-Machamp include use of *Rare Candy* (straight to Machamp from a Machop; Machoke not used) and an *Evosoda*.
NOTE: I am uncertain as to what happens to Stage Ones if Rare Candy gets used to go from Basic to Stage two.
