Read more ↓Ancient Ruins is a Trainer card from the Pokémon Trading Card Game, specifically a Stadium card, which represents a location on the battlefield that affects gameplay. Unlike Pokémon cards, Trainer cards like Ancient Ruins do not depict a specific Pokémon, but rather elements from the Pokémon world. Stadium cards were introduced early in the TCG's history and have remained a staple, evolving in their effects over time. This particular card evokes the mysterious and historical aspects often found in the Pokémon universe, suggesting ancient civilizations or forgotten places where Pokémon might roam or where significant events occurred. The artwork itself portrays a dimly lit, weathered structure, possibly a temple or a ruin, adorned with statues and illuminated by candles, hinting at a place of reverence or discovery within the Pokémon world. These types of cards add a layer of strategic depth to the game, altering the conditions of play for both participants.
