The egg can be damaged three times, each time a part going out of play, then the Victini hatches and behaves like a normal piece. When pieces are damaged for the first time, they are turned over and the second time they are damaged, they are removed. A Legend Piece can be placed anywhere on the board, presuming there is room, but being placed on the board resets the count for a Legend Piece to be placed and ends the turn.
Legend Pieces can only be placed on the board when the player loses a specific amount of non-Legend Pieces - three for Zekrom, four for Reshiram.

If they have the same power after the Plus Power, no one is damaged. If the attacking Pokémon has more power after the Plus Power, the defender is damaged if the defender has more, the attacker is damaged. If a +70 is drawn or if the deck runs out, all the cards get shuffled back into the deck immediately. If it has less or equal, it draws a Plus Power card, boosting the power +0, +20, +30, +40 or +70 (note that +0 is in the deck twice).
