Importing a game

To review a game, your assistant needs two things from Pokémon TCG Live: the game’s battle log and the decklist you played. Paste both into the chat and ask it to import the game.

Where to copy them in TCG Live

  • The battle log. After a game, open it from your match history and copy its game log. It starts with Setup and ends with the result, such as “… wins.”.
  • The decklist. Open the deck you played in the deck editor and export it; TCG Live copies the list as text, starting with Pokémon: and ending with Total Cards: 60.

The exact menu names can differ between TCG Live versions; look for the game log in your match history and the export option in the deck editor.

What to paste

Paste the whole battle log and your decklist in one message, then ask:

Here's my last game from TCG Live and my decklist. Import it and review it with me.

If you have no game to hand, use the example game.

What a complete import looks like

The assistant reports the game: who went first, the result and how it ended, the turns played, and no problems, meaning every line of the log was replayed. It gives you a link to the board, where you can step through every turn.

If it reports problems, a few are usually harmless: it says which log lines couldn’t be replayed and what that affects. Many problems mean the import isn’t reliable; check the log was complete and the decklist is the one you played.

If lines are missing

Some chat apps shorten a long paste, showing something like “141 lines hidden” and sending only part of the log. A shortened log imports badly: the game stops early or the assistant reports problems.

  • Paste the whole log again, and check the chat shows it in full.
  • Or save the log to a text file and attach the file instead of pasting.
  • Check the log starts with Setup and ends with the result line.

Keeping the game

Imported games don’t last forever on the hosted playmat (see its limits). To keep one, ask:

Give me this game's record so I can keep it.

Save the record somewhere safe, such as a note. Pasting it back later and asking to import it restores the same game.
