In Pokemon TCG, if I drew my last card in my deck, what would happen?

Question

In real life, I play Pokémon TCG. Good game in my opinion, but there are things I am still not sure about, such as whether I would lose a battle if I drew my last card, even if I had a hand left, or not. If so, how can I prevent this? Would using a draw card or draw move allow you to reshuffle? Or am I an idiot for playing like that? Is there even a way to reshuffle your deck and discard pile together to last longer? Or at least prevent losing because you drew all your cards?

I think nothing would happen immediately, but you lose if your deck is still empty at the beginning of your next turn.

But can you prevent that?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, if you drew your last card, the next turn you lose automatically, both on the physical TCG and the Online TCG.

The good news, is that there are some cards that let you put cards from your discard pile/hand into the deck, such as the Rescue Stretcher and others.

Thank you for answering this. My only problem with your answer is my internet would die if I even tried to play any video. But other than that, seems like a good one. I have several cards like the kind you mentioned, for example, the Rescue Stretcher, Energy Retrieval, and even a Burning Shadows Heatmor. That is to just to name a few. I guess I should include more of those cards and focus less on other stuff. Thanks again for this answer!
