Order by National Pokédex number, lowest first. You place all 159 cards in the right order, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Every card in this deck is a Pokémon, and you're putting them in order of their National Pokédex number, lowest first. Each card shows the Pokémon's type, or both types for dual-type species. One Pokémon is placed at the start with its number visible. For each new card, decide whether it belongs above or below the ones already down and pick that gap. Get it right and its Pokédex number appears; get it wrong and it still moves to its true place, costing one of your three lives.
The cards dip into every generation of the games, from the very first region to the newest. Early numbers come easily to anyone who grew up with them, but the middle generations are where most runs stall. Types alone won't save you, though it helps to remember that evolution lines sit together and legendaries tend to close out a generation's block. Knowing which games a Pokémon debuted in is the real skill here.
