Everything in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic box
- Three 60-card decks, ready to play, led by Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur
- 3 deck boxes
- 3 sets of card sleeves
- 1 two-player game board
- 1 toolbox case with a randomiser
- 2 sets of damage counter cones
- 2 sets of condition markers
Each deck has its own deck box and sleeves, and the toolbox case holds the randomiser, cones and markers, so every part has a home once the game is packed away.
Three foil decks with Base Set roots
Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, the original first partner Pokémon, each anchor one deck. The deck lists take their cue from the Base Set and blend in classic cards from right across the game’s history.
Every card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic decks is foil, so the whole set shines on the table. It feels very different from opening booster packs, because you start with complete, finished decks.
Six new cards
Six new cards sit alongside the classic material, including Ho-Oh ex, Lugia ex and Suicune ex. Returning players get something fresh to discover in a familiar package.
Picking your first deck
Choosing a favourite is half the fun. Plenty of players start with the first partner they picked in the original games, then swap decks with their opponent for the rematch.
Setting up a two-player game
Unfold the two-player game board, choose a deck each and shuffle up. Because the decks are ready-made, there is no list to build and no cards to sort before the first turn.
With three decks in the box, one can sit out and rotate in for the next game, so the same two players can try every match-up over an evening.
When the session ends, the decks slide back into their deck boxes and sleeves, and the accessories return to the toolbox case. If you buy Pokémon TCG Classic as a family game, that quick pack-down makes it easy to bring out again.
Who should buy it
If your first cards came from the Base Set era, the inspiration behind these decks will feel instantly familiar. If you are new to the game, the finished decks in Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic let you learn by playing instead of by building, which suits families and first-timers.
A display piece too
Between games, the set doubles as shelf decoration for anyone who collects Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise. Keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the printed artwork, and store each deck in its own box so the foil cards stay flat.
English Classic or Japanese Classic?
This is the English Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic. A separate Japanese release, the Pokémon Card Game Classic, is also in our range for collectors who prefer Japanese cards.
