Collectr - Track the prices of Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh and many other TCGs
Sometimes you cant do that in person, but dont worry, the Pokmon community, including the TCG community, is very large, so you can find people who share your tastes and want to get better every day
Battling in this game not only helps with a players flexibility but also encourages outside-the-box thinking for these types of scenarios
This is primarily because some of the statuses involve the random luck of coin flips, with a Pokemon sleeping and unable to act until you flip a heads, a Pokemons action replaced with damaging itself if you flip tails on the persistent confusion, but Paralysis and Poison at least avoid the random chance mechanics, Paralysis just being a single lost turn for the Pokemon and Poison inflicting gradual damage between player turns
There are also corrupted payoffs that care about your opponents having three or more poison counters
