Pokémon TCG: Tinkaton ex Battle Deck (Ready-to-Play 60-Card Deck)

This is a really great deck for beginners or if you wanted to advance on this deck, I suggest adding three more Shien Puo EX and a lapras EX. These are official they are not fake.

First of all, the packaging was chefs kiss absolutely amazing,great cards , really fun, definitely recommend it !!!

Pokémon make a number of products aimed at learning how to play Pokémon the Card Game ( also referred to as simply TCG). This is a ‘1 Pokéball’ pack ( as seen by the single Pokémon ball on the front bottom left of the pack), meaning it’s designed for someone just learning how to play the game, as opposed to a serious player, or someone just collecting the cards. In TCG there are 2 players, each having a full deck of 60 cards. This box contains one full deck of 60, so for one player. It consists firstly of one key character card , like Lucario Ex, MewTwo Ex, Chien Pao Ex or Amphoros Ex in this case, depending on the deck pack bought. (These single cards are special promo cards, highly collectible, and collectors do buy these packs, remove that single card, and sell the rest of the pack on, so do take care of that featured card). Then there are a mix of other character cards, plus some energy cards (you can’t make any moves without energy) and some supporter cards, that get you out of a jam or speed things up. There will be several of some cards, as you start play with only 7 cards at first, the rest being in the deck etc. For this reason someone just collecting the cards will find duplicates. It’s also not ideal for someone playing competitively as the cards inside don’t have enough of the more recent, or high level cards (they would be better off with a Battle League pack, which is a 3 Pokéball pack so for more advanced players - and of course is more expensive ). However for most fairly new players this is a great starting point. There is a good range of cards in each pack, you can play straight away (assuming you have an opponent also with a full deck!) they are great value compared to single card packs, and you can use them as a basis to learn how to customise your own deck as you go along. I’ve bought 6 now (three for me!) and have found them all excellent value.PS If never played TCG before then I’d recommend the Pokémon Academy - also on Amazon - that talks you through the game, step by step, and includes a playing board and three starter decks.

I was satisfied with the purchase however they need to add more ex in the deck

My 6yr old niece was able to play this deck effectively and she had never played the Pokemon card game before. In fact these were her first cards. The deck is well comprised and simple to understand. She had some questions about how supporter cards worked and such, but after one game she was teaching a 12yr old how to play. So for a first deck this is a great choice, highly recommend!

Brought to put by for Christmas. My grandson is 7 and loves Pokémon. Got him some for his birthday and hasn't stopped looking and playing games with them. Great for learning also. Reading and number skills .

Great value for money. It was great stocking filler for my daughter 😊 and a good game too.

Turns out this is a bad purchase, it says you get a 60 card deck, which is technically true however when my son opened the pack there were 3 copies of each card so only 20 unique cards.
