What is the Pokémon Trading Card Game? Let’s Understand the Basics

The Pokémon Trading Card Game (abbreviated as Pokémon TCG) is a trading card game where players battle using Pokémon. Since its release in 1996, it has been loved worldwide, and as of 2025, new cards are regularly released.

Players use a 60-card deck to battle one-on-one, aiming to defeat the opponent's Pokémon and take 6 prize cards. There are three types of cards: "Pokémon," "Energy," and "Trainers," and players aim for victory by using each strategically.

The biggest feature of the Pokémon Trading Card Game is that it recreates Pokémon from the anime and games in card form. By building a deck with your favorite Pokémon, you can battle with your own original team. Additionally, there are many cards with beautiful illustrations, making them popular for collection as well.

Compared to other card games, the rules are simple and easy to understand, and the official support system is extensive. There are plenty of starter products available for beginners, and rulebooks and explanatory videos are also well-prepared.

The Appeal of the Pokémon Trading Card Game

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has three major attractions that captivate players.

First, the high level of strategy. From deck building to decision-making during battles, various strategies are required. Which Pokémon to develop, when to use support cards, how to allocate energy—every turn presents important choices, testing your thinking skills. Even with the same deck, the outcome can change depending on the player's decisions, which is part of the fun.

Next, the collectability. Cards come in a variety of types, from standard versions to high-rarity SARs and URs, all featuring beautiful illustrations. In particular, SAR (Special Art Rare) cards are of artistic quality drawn by popular illustrators, boasting high popularity among collectors. The thrill of opening a pack is also a unique enjoyment of this hobby.

Finally, the existence of a community. Regular events are held at card shops nationwide, allowing you to interact with others who share the same hobby. You can enjoy it with friends and family, or participate in official tournaments to compete in skills. Online communities are also active, making it easy to find deck-building advice and opponents.

Three Reasons Why Beginners Can Easily Start

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has a well-prepared environment that makes it easier for beginners to start compared to other card games.

First, the enhancement of official support. The official Pokémon website offers free rule explanation videos and PDF materials for beginners. Additionally, Pokémon Centers and card shops across the country have staff who are ready to teach the rules carefully. Even if you have questions, there is an environment where you can ask freely, alleviating the anxiety of starting alone.

Second, the abundance of starter products. As of 2025, multiple "ex Starter Deck" series are available, starting from around 1,000 yen. These products come with everything needed for play, including a rulebook, playmat, and damage counters. Since the decks are pre-assembled, it is a major attraction that you can start playing immediately after purchase. For more details, please refer to Recommended Starter Products for Beginners.

Third, the kindness of the community. Many Pokémon card players are friendly to beginners, and they can teach you carefully at store events. Store events called "Gym Battles" have a welcoming atmosphere for beginners, making it easy to participate. In online communities like X (formerly Twitter) and Discord, there are many people who will kindly answer your questions if you ask.

What You Need to Start Pokémon Cards

Before starting Pokémon cards, you might be worried about what you need to prepare. In conclusion, if you buy one starter set, you can start playing right away.

For Pokémon card battles, you need at least four items: a "60-card deck," "damage counters," "coins," and a "playmat." All of these are included in the starter set (such as the ex Starter Deck), so beginners do not need to buy them individually. You can start with a budget of around 1,000 yen, making it easy to begin.

In this section, we will explain in detail the absolutely necessary items, convenient items, and preparation plans by budget. Let's find a way to start that suits you.

Absolutely Necessary Items (Minimum)

The four items that are absolutely necessary for Pokémon card battles are as follows.

1. Deck (60 cards)
A bundle of cards used for battles. You need to combine three types: Pokémon, Energy, and Trainers, to make exactly 60 cards. By purchasing a starter set, you can obtain a pre-assembled deck, making it recommended for beginners to start with this.

2. Damage Counters
Tokens used to represent the damage a Pokémon has taken. There are three types: 10 damage, 50 damage, and 100 damage, which are used during battles by placing them on top of Pokémon cards. The starter set includes paper damage counters.

3. Coin or Dice
Needed when using moves or abilities that have a coin toss effect. You can use either a coin or dice, but treat 1 and 2 as tails and 3-6 as heads. Starter sets often include a coin.

4. Playmat (or substitute)
A mat that indicates where to place cards. It shows the positions for the battle area, bench, deck, and trash. Initially, you can use a paper playmat that can be downloaded from the official site or a homemade mat written on regular paper.

With these four items, you can start battling right away. For more details, see Essential Items for Pokémon Cards.

Convenient Items

While not essential, having the following items can make your Pokémon card experience more enjoyable.

Sleeves (for card protection)
These are transparent bags that protect cards from scratches and dirt. They are essential when using particularly important or rare cards. You can purchase a pack of 60 for around 300 to 500 yen.

Deck Case
This is a dedicated case for carrying your deck. It prevents cards from bending or getting mixed up. You can also use a small case from a 100 yen shop as a substitute.

Dice
Not only can they be used instead of coins, but they can also serve as damage counters. They are especially useful when managing large amounts of damage.

Playmat (fabric)
More durable than paper, it makes playing easier as cards are less likely to slip. Official playmats cost around 2,000 to 3,000 yen, but paper mats are sufficient at first.

Card File
This is a file for storing unused or collected cards. It is an essential item if you want to enjoy your collection.

Budget Preparation Plans

How much initial investment to make varies from person to person. Here are some recommended plans based on budget.

1,000 to 1,500 yen plan (minimum start)
- ex Starter Deck 1: around 1,200 yen
- Total: 1,200 yen

The ex Starter Deck includes the deck, damage counters, coins, and a playmat. With just this one item, you can start battling today. Sleeves are not necessary at first, but if you want to take care of your cards, consider purchasing them additionally.

3,000 yen plan (standard start)
- ex Starter Deck 1: 1,200 yen
- Sleeves 1 (60 pieces): 400 yen
- Expansion Packs 5: 825 yen (165 yen × 5)
- Total: 2,425 yen

This plan adds sleeves and packs to the starter deck. If you draw new cards from the packs, you can enjoy customizing your deck. For detailed information on how to choose packs, see Pokémon Card Pack Purchase Guide.

5,000 yen plan (serious start)
- ex Starter Deck 2 (different types): 2,400 yen
- Sleeves 2: 800 yen
- Expansion Packs 10: 1,650 yen
- Deck Case: 200 yen (100 yen shop)
- Total: 5,050 yen

With two starter decks, you can play with friends and family. Additionally, you can combine cards from both decks to create your own original deck, adding to the fun. This is a recommended plan for those who want to get started seriously. A detailed guide by budget is explained in the Pokémon Card Budget Guide.

Recommended Starter Products for Beginners [2025 Edition]

When starting Pokémon cards, it can be confusing to decide which starter product to buy. In conclusion, the "ex Starter Deck" series is the most recommended.

The ex Starter Deck is an official starter product available as of 2025, priced around 1,200 yen. It includes 60 cards, damage counters, coins, a playmat, and a rulebook, allowing you to start playing right away after purchase. There are multiple types available, each featuring different Pokémon and types, so you can choose based on your favorite Pokémon.

In this section, we will introduce the latest starter products for 2025 in detail. Find the product that suits you and start playing Pokémon cards today. More details are also explained in the Recommended Starter Products for Beginners.

Features and Selection of ex Starter Decks

The ex Starter Deck is the easiest starter product for beginners to start with. As of 2025, several types are available, each with different features.

The biggest feature of the ex Starter Deck is its "high level of completeness that allows you to play right away." The deck is composed of 60 cards from the start and is well-balanced. Additionally, it includes a powerful "ex Pokémon" that serves as the core of the deck, making it easier for beginners to win.

Here are three key points for selection:

1. Choose based on your favorite Pokémon
The most recommended way to choose is to select a deck that includes your favorite Pokémon. If you have an attachment to it, you can enjoy it for a long time.

2. Choose by type
Pokémon have types such as fire, water, lightning, and grass. Each ex Starter Deck specializes in a specific type, so choosing based on your favorite type is also a good idea.

3. Choose by play style
You can also choose based on whether you prefer an aggressive deck or a defensive one that fights while protecting.

As of 2025, here are two particularly popular ex Starter Decks:

Soul Blaze ex Starter Deck

The Soul Blaze ex Starter Deck is centered around fire types. Priced around 1,200 yen, it can be purchased at Pokémon Centers and card shops nationwide.

The strength of this deck lies in its high firepower. Soul Blaze ex has powerful attack moves that can take down the opponent's Pokémon in one go. It is recommended for those who enjoy an aggressive play style.

Additionally, fire types are easy for beginners to handle. There are plenty of energy acceleration (cards that allow you to attach energy quickly) cards, making it easy to attack from the early game. It is perfect for those who want to actively attack while learning the rules.

Takeru Raikou ex Starter Deck

The Takeru Raikou ex Start Deck is a deck centered around the Lightning type. It is also priced around 1,200 yen and can be purchased nationwide.

The strength of this deck lies in its ability to engage in fast-paced battles. Takeru Raikou ex has low retreat energy and high mobility, allowing it to fight while avoiding the opponent's attacks. It is recommended for those who enjoy flexible fighting styles.

The Lightning type often has opportunities to exploit weaknesses against Colorless type Pokémon, making it highly versatile. Additionally, excellent support cards are included, providing a good balance in the deck, making it suitable for beginners to learn and grow.

What is the Battle Academy?

The Battle Academy is a special learning set created for Pokémon card beginners. Priced around 4,000 yen, it is more expensive than the ex Start Deck, but it offers more comprehensive content.

The contents of the Battle Academy are as follows:
- 3 completed decks (60 cards × 3 types)
- Damage counters, coins, playmat, and other battle tools
- Detailed rulebook and tutorial guide
- Practice play guide

The biggest advantage of the Battle Academy is that it allows you to learn the rules step by step. By following the tutorial guide during battles, you can gradually understand the rules while improving. Moreover, with three decks included, you can start playing immediately with friends or family.

It is recommended for the following types of people:
- Those who want to learn the rules carefully and thoroughly
- Those who want to start with friends or family
- Those considering playing seriously in the future

However, since the price is on the higher side, those who want to "just try it out" may find it easier to start with the ex Start Deck.

Recommended Starting Methods by Budget

The recommended starting method varies depending on your budget. Here are the optimal products based on different budgets.

If starting in the 1,000 yen range
- Recommendation: 1 ex Start Deck
- Price: Around 1,200 yen
- Reason: You can start playing today with minimal investment. Perfect for those who want to try it out first.

With just one ex Start Deck, you can learn the rules and enjoy battles. If a friend already has Pokémon cards or if you can find an opponent at a card shop, this is sufficient.

If starting in the 3,000 yen range
- Recommendation: 2 ex Start Decks (different types)
- Price: Around 2,400 yen
- Reason: You can play with friends or family. You can also enjoy customizing by combining cards from the two decks.

With two Start Decks, you can play immediately with family or friends without needing to find an opponent. Additionally, you will have 120 cards (60 cards × 2), allowing you to combine cards from both decks to create an original deck.

If starting seriously with over 5,000 yen
- Recommendation: Battle Academy
- Price: Around 4,000 yen
- Reason: You can learn thoroughly with three decks and a tutorial guide. Multiple people can start at the same time.

The Battle Academy is ideal for those who want to start seriously or for families wanting to enjoy together. With three decks available, three people can play simultaneously. The comprehensive tutorial allows you to learn the rules independently, even if no one is there to teach you.

Let's Learn the Basic Rules of Pokémon Cards

Are you worried that "the rules seem difficult"? Don't worry. The rules of Pokémon cards can be easily understood once you grasp the basics.

The objective of the Pokémon Trading Card Game is to defeat your opponent's Pokémon and take 6 "Prize Cards". Players take turns alternately, attaching energy to their Pokémon and using moves to defeat the opponent's Pokémon. It may seem complicated at first, but once you start playing, you'll understand the basic flow in about 10 minutes.

In this section, we will explain three basic elements: victory conditions, types of cards, and the flow of the game. By the time you finish reading, you should have a clear picture of the overall match. For a more detailed explanation of the rules, please refer to Basic Rules of Pokémon Cards.

Three Victory Conditions

There are three victory conditions in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Achieving any one of these will result in a win.

1. Take 6 Prize Cards (the most common)
When you defeat an opponent's Pokémon, you can take one Prize Card (one of the 6 cards set aside at the beginning). The player who takes all 6 Prize Cards wins. This is the most common way to win, and most matches are decided by this condition.

Note that if you defeat special Pokémon like ex Pokémon or VSTAR Pokémon, you may take 2 Prize Cards. Therefore, defeating powerful Pokémon can bring you closer to victory more quickly.

2. Knock out all of the opponent's Pokémon
If there are no Pokémon left on the opponent's battle field or bench, you win at that moment. However, this way of winning is rare. Usually, one player will take 6 Prize Cards first, so victories by total knockout do not happen often.

3. The opponent cannot draw a card at the start of their turn
At the beginning of each turn, players draw one card from their deck. If the opponent's deck has 0 cards and they cannot draw, you win at that moment. This is called "library out" and can occur in long matches. Some decks are designed as "deck destruction" decks that strategically aim to deplete the opponent's deck.

Basic Types of Cards

There are three types of cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Each has a different role, and using them in a balanced way is key to victory.

Pokémon Cards
These are the central cards of the match. You can have one in the battle field and up to five on the bench. Pokémon cards have information such as "HP (Hit Points)", "Moves", and "Weakness/Resistance", and you can use moves by attaching energy.

Pokémon cards come in three stages: "Basic Pokémon", "Stage 1 Pokémon", and "Stage 2 Pokémon". Basic Pokémon can be played from the start, but evolved Pokémon need to evolve from a lower stage Pokémon. Generally, evolved Pokémon have higher HP and more powerful moves.

Energy Cards
These are the cards needed to use Pokémon moves. Once per turn, you can attach one energy card to one of your Pokémon. To use a move, you need the required number and type of energy.

There are two types of energy: "Basic Energy" and "Special Energy". Basic Energy is categorized by types such as Fire, Water, Lightning, and Grass, and you can include as many as you want in your deck. Special Energy has unique effects, and there is a limit of 4 cards of the same name.

Trainer's Cards
These are support cards that help you gain an advantage in battles. They have various effects such as drawing cards, searching for Pokémon from your deck, and healing damage.

There are three types of Trainer's Cards: "Support," "Items," and "Stadiums." You can only use one Support card per turn, but they have powerful effects. You can use as many Item cards as you want, but their effects are modest. Stadium cards are played in the field and have effects that influence both players. For more details, see Types of Cards and Terminology.

Basic Flow of the Game

The Pokémon Trading Card Game proceeds as follows:

Preparation
1. Both players shuffle their decks and place them as their draw piles.
2. Draw 7 cards from the draw pile to form your hand.
3. Choose 1 Basic Pokémon from your hand and place it face down in the battle area.
4. Optionally, choose up to 5 Basic Pokémon from your hand and place them face down on the bench.
5. Take the top 6 cards from your draw pile and place them face down as your prize cards.
6. Both players reveal all their cards simultaneously.

If you have no Basic Pokémon in your hand, declare a "Mulligan," return your hand to the deck, shuffle, and draw 7 cards again. If your opponent has also declared a Mulligan, you can draw one extra card from your deck.

Determining First and Second Player
Decide who goes first and second by flipping a coin or playing rock-paper-scissors. The player going first cannot use attacks on their first turn, so strategically, going second can sometimes be advantageous.

Flow of a Turn
Each player takes their turn in the following order:
1. Draw 1 card from the draw pile.
2. Take actions during your turn (in any order you prefer):
- Put a Basic Pokémon from your hand onto the bench.
- Evolve a Pokémon.
- Attach 1 Energy card (only once per turn).
- Use a Trainer's card.
- Use an Ability.
- Switch the Pokémon in the battle area.
- Retreat (discard an Energy card to switch with a Pokémon on the bench).
3. Use an attack (only once at the end of your turn).
4. End your turn.

If your opponent's Pokémon's HP drops to 0 or below, that Pokémon is "knocked out" and placed in the discard pile. The player who knocked it out takes 1 prize card. For a detailed flow of battles, see Flow of Pokémon Card Battles.

Understanding Card Types and Terminology

In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, there are several specialized terms you need to learn. Understanding these will help you smoothly comprehend the rulebook and explanatory videos on YouTube.

Cards are broadly classified into three types: "Pokémon Cards," "Energy Cards," and "Trainer's Cards," each with further subdivisions. Additionally, the names of locations used during the game, such as "Battle Area," "Bench," "Prize," and "Discard," are also important.

In this section, we will explain the details of each card and basic terminology. By understanding these, deck building and battles will become much easier to grasp. For more detailed terminology explanations, please refer to Pokémon Card Terminology.

Pokémon Cards

Pokémon cards are the main cards used in battles. They are divided into three types based on their evolution stages: "Basic Pokémon," "Stage 1 Pokémon," and "Stage 2 Pokémon."

Basic Pokémon
These are the fundamental Pokémon that can be played from the start. They can be placed directly onto the battle field or bench from your hand. They have lower HP but are strong because they can be active from the early game. For example, Pikachu, Eevee, and Charmander are Basic Pokémon.

Stage 1 Pokémon
These are Pokémon that have evolved from Basic Pokémon. For example, Raichu evolves from Pikachu, and Charmeleon evolves from Charmander. They have higher HP and more powerful attacks than Basic Pokémon. To evolve, you place them on top of the Basic Pokémon on the field.

Stage 2 Pokémon
These are Pokémon that have further evolved from Stage 1 Pokémon. For example, Charizard evolves from Charmeleon. They have the highest HP and powerful attacks, but it takes time to bring them into play.

Special Pokémon like ex, V, and VSTAR
There are also special Pokémon with stronger rules than regular Pokémon. As of 2025, "ex Pokémon" are mainstream. These Pokémon have higher HP and powerful attacks compared to regular Pokémon, but if they are knocked out, you must take two prize cards.

Abilities
Some Pokémon have special abilities called "Abilities." Abilities can activate automatically when certain conditions are met or can be used at your preferred timing, separate from attacks. For example, effects like "drawing a card from your hand" or "attaching energy" can provide advantages in battles.

Attacks
These are the attacks or effects that Pokémon can use. Each attack specifies the type and number of energy required. There are various types of attacks, including those that deal damage, inflict special conditions, or enhance your own Pokémon.

Energy Cards

Energy cards are like fuel for using Pokémon attacks. You can attach one energy card to one of your Pokémon once per turn.

Basic Energy
There are 11 types: Fire, Water, Lightning, Grass, Psychic, Fighting, Dark, Steel, Fairy, Dragon, and Colorless. Basic Energy can be included in your deck in any quantity. Many attacks require specific types of Basic Energy.

Special Energy
These are energy cards with special effects. For example, they may have effects like "counting as two types of energy" or "increasing the damage of the attached Pokémon's attacks." You can only include up to four cards of the same name in your deck.

How to Attach Energy
You can attach energy to one of your Pokémon from your hand once per turn during your turn. It can be done on either the battle field or the bench. However, due to the effects or abilities of some cards, it may be possible to perform "energy acceleration" by attaching multiple energies in one turn.

Energy is not only important as the cost of moves but is also necessary when you "retreat". Pokémon cards have a "retreat cost" listed, and by discarding that amount of energy, you can switch with a Pokémon on the bench.

Trainer Cards

Trainer cards are support cards that help you gain an advantage in battles. They are divided into three categories.

Support
These are the most powerful trainer cards. They have effects that can significantly change the flow of the game, such as "Professor's Research" (draw 7 cards from your deck) and "Nanjamo" (return both players' hands to their decks, shuffle, and draw a specified number of cards).

Since you can only use one support card per turn, timing is crucial. Typically, a deck contains about 10 to 15 support cards.

Items
These are trainer cards that can be used as many times as you want in a turn. Their effects are more modest than support cards, but they can be used flexibly due to the lack of a quantity limit. Examples include "Ultra Ball" (search for a Pokémon from your deck) and "Pokémon Switch" (swap a battling Pokémon with a benched Pokémon).

Items are often included in decks to ensure smooth gameplay, usually around 20 to 30 cards.

Stadiums
These are cards that are played in the field and have effects that influence both players. Once played, their effects continue until a new stadium is played. They can enhance specific deck types, such as "Boss's Orders Stadium" and "Electro Generator".

Since stadiums also affect your opponent, they need to be used strategically. Decks often contain about 0 to 4 stadium cards.

Learning how to use trainer cards is a shortcut to victory. In particular, "Professor's Research", "Nanjamo", and "Ultra Ball" are versatile cards used in most decks. For more details, see General Cards in Pokémon Card.

Basic Terms to Remember

Here are some basic terms commonly used in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Battle Field
This is where the Pokémon currently battling is placed. Only one can be placed here. The target of the opponent's moves is generally the Pokémon on the battle field.

Bench
This is where spare Pokémon are placed. You can have up to 5 Pokémon here. Bench Pokémon can be swapped out when the battling Pokémon is knocked out or with cards like "Pokémon Switch".

Prize
These are the 6 cards set aside at the start of the game. You take one when you knock out an opponent's Pokémon, and the player who takes all 6 wins. Cards in the prize cannot be seen or used until they are taken.

Trash
This is where used cards and knocked-out Pokémon are placed. It is the discard pile. Cards in the trash can sometimes be reused through the effects of certain cards.

Knock Out
This occurs when a Pokémon's HP drops to 0 or below. The knocked-out Pokémon is placed in the trash along with any attached cards (such as energy).

Escape
This refers to switching the Pokémon on the battle field with the Pokémon on the bench. To escape, you need to trash energy equal to the "escape cost" listed on the card. Pokémon with an escape cost of 0 can escape freely without any energy.

Let's Build a Deck

Once you are familiar with the starter deck, try creating your own original deck next. Deck building is one of the joys of Pokémon cards.

A deck must consist of exactly 60 cards, with a balanced distribution of Pokémon, energy, and trainers. A common guideline is 15-20 Pokémon, 10-15 energy, and 30-35 trainers. Beginners can create a stable deck by first adhering to this ratio.

In this section, we will explain the basic rules of deck building, the ideal balance, and recommended deck types for beginners. Let's create your own strong deck. For a detailed deck building guide, please refer to Pokémon Card Deck Building.

Basic Rules of Deck Building

There are basic rules that must be followed when building a Pokémon card deck.

1. The deck must consist of exactly 60 cards
The deck must consist of exactly 60 cards. It cannot be 59 or 61. It needs to be precisely 60 cards.

2. Up to 4 cards of the same name
You can only include up to 4 cards of the same name in your deck. For example, you can include up to 4 cards of "Pikachu," but you cannot include more than 5. However, basic energy cards are an exception and can be included in any quantity.

3. Unlimited basic energy
Basic energy such as fire energy and water energy can be included in any quantity in the deck. Therefore, if you are building a fire deck, it is possible to include 15 fire energy cards.

4. Up to 4 special energy
Special energy cards also have a limit of 4 cards. For example, "Double Turbo Energy" can be included up to 4 times, while "Basic Fire Energy" has no limit.

By following these rules, you can create a deck that can be used in official tournaments.

Ideal Balance of the Deck

When beginners create a deck, they often wonder how many of which cards to include. Here are some general guidelines.

Pokémon: 15-20 cards
Pokémon are the core of the deck. If you have fewer than 15, the likelihood of not drawing Pokémon in your hand early on increases. Conversely, if you have more than 20, you will have fewer trainer cards, and your strategy may not work well.

Example composition:
- Main attacker (ex Pokémon, etc.): 2-3 cards
- Sub attacker: 2-4 cards
- Support Pokémon (with abilities): 2-4 cards
- Basic Pokémon: about 8-12 cards

Including more basic Pokémon helps prevent early game accidents (having no basic Pokémon in hand).

Energy: 10-15 cards
Energy is the fuel for using moves. If you have fewer than 10, you may run out of energy and be unable to use moves. If you have more than 15, your hand may be filled with energy, preventing you from drawing trainer cards.

Example composition:
- Basic energy: 8-12 cards
- Special energy: 2-4 cards

For single-type decks (such as fire only, water only, etc.), it is recommended to have 12 to 14 basic energy cards. In decks that mix multiple types, adjustments can be made using special energy.

Trainers: 30 to 35 cards
Trainer cards greatly influence the stability of the deck. If you have fewer than 30 cards, it becomes difficult to draw the necessary cards, making the deck harder to operate.

Example composition:
- Support: 10 to 15 cards (Professor's Research, Nanjamo, etc.)
- Items: 18 to 23 cards (Hyper Ball, Pokémon Switch, etc.)
- Stadium: 0 to 4 cards

Including a balance of "draw support" to replenish your hand and "disruption support" to hinder your opponent allows for flexible responses.

Recommended Deck Types for Beginners

Here are some recommended types for beginners to create their first deck.

1. Customized Deck Based on ex Starter Deck
The most recommended method is to start with an ex starter deck and gradually replace some cards. Starter decks are well-balanced, so just a few changes can bring you closer to a strong deck.

For example, add the following cards to the Soul Blaze ex starter deck:
- Professor's Research +2 cards
- Hyper Ball +2 cards
- Powerful fire Pokémon +2 cards

This method allows for enhancement with minimal investment. For more details, see Beginner Decks.

2. Single-Type Deck
A deck specialized in one type (fire, water, lightning, etc.). The management of energy is simple, making it easy for beginners to handle.

Advantages of single-type decks:
- Less likely to experience energy mishaps
- Simple deck construction
- Can use type-specific support cards

3. Powerful Basic Pokémon Centered Deck
A deck that battles using only basic Pokémon without evolving. The lack of evolution makes it easy to attack from the early game.

Advantages of basic Pokémon centered decks:
- Can attack from the early game
- No evolution mishaps
- Simple and easy to handle

Recommended basic Pokémon:
- ex Pokémon (Soul Blaze ex, Takeru Raikou ex, etc.)
- V Pokémon
- High-damage basic Pokémon

Essential Generic Cards to Gather

Gathering "generic cards" that can be included in any deck expands your deck-building options. The following cards are effective in most decks.

Essential Generic Cards
- Professor's Research: A powerful draw support that allows you to draw 7 cards from your deck
- Nanjamo: A disruption support that resets your hand and allows you to draw again
- Hyper Ball: An item that lets you fetch any Pokémon from your deck
- Pokémon Switch: An item that swaps your battling Pokémon with a benched one
- Nest Ball: An item that brings a basic Pokémon from your deck to the bench

Having four copies of these cards each allows you to adapt to any deck. You can gather a total of about 20 cards for around 2,000 to 3,000 yen.

Convenient Generic Cards to Have
- Boss's Orders: A support that drags an opponent's benched Pokémon into the battle
- Earth’s Vessel: An item that fetches 2 basic energy cards from your deck
- Amazing Fishing Rod: An item that retrieves Pokémon or energy from the discard pile

These cards work powerfully with specific strategies. Consider adopting them according to your deck type. For more details, see General Cards for Pokémon Cards.

How to Buy Pokémon Cards

Where should you buy Pokémon cards? There are surprisingly many places to purchase them.

You can buy Pokémon cards at various locations such as Pokémon Centers, card shops, electronics retailers, convenience stores, and online shops. Starter sets and standard packs are relatively easy to obtain, but popular new products may sell out on the release date. Therefore, it is important to utilize reservations and lotteries.

In this section, we will explain where you can purchase cards, the types of packs available, and how to obtain reservation and lottery information. Let’s efficiently collect the cards you want. For more details, see Guide to Buying Pokémon Cards.

Places to Buy

You can purchase Pokémon cards at the following locations. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so choose according to your purpose.

Pokémon Center
This is the official Pokémon shop located in major cities across the country. They have a wide selection, and limited edition products may also be sold. The staff is knowledgeable about Pokémon cards, so beginners can consult them with confidence. The downside is that there are few stores, and popular products can be difficult to obtain.

Card Shop
This is a specialty store for card games. In addition to Pokémon cards, they also handle Yu-Gi-Oh! and Duel Masters. The biggest advantage is that you can purchase single cards (sold individually), allowing you to buy only the cards you want. Additionally, store events are frequently held, making it easy to find opponents for matches.

Electronics Retailers
Large electronics retailers such as Yodobashi Camera, Bic Camera, and Yamada Denki also sell Pokémon cards. You can purchase them at a good price due to high point return rates. The selection varies by store, but starter sets and standard packs are generally easy to obtain.

Convenience Stores
Convenience stores like Seven-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson also sell expansion packs. The advantage is that they are easy to purchase, but the selection is limited, and popular products sell out quickly.

Online Shops (Amazon, Rakuten, etc.)
This is a convenient way to order from home. It is easy to compare prices and refer to reviews. However, popular products may be priced higher than the retail price, so caution is needed. Additionally, there is a risk of counterfeit products or re-shrink-wrapped items (opened items repackaged), so be sure to buy from reliable sellers.

Online Stores of Card Shops
These are online stores of card shops that have physical locations. They are ideal for purchasing single cards, allowing you to buy the cards you want one at a time. Prices fluctuate according to the market, but it is more efficient to build a deck than buying multiple packs.

Types of Packs and How to Choose

There are several types of packs for Pokémon cards. Each has different characteristics, so choose according to your purpose.

Expansion Pack
The most common pack. Each pack costs 165 yen (including tax) and contains 5 cards. New expansion packs are released approximately every 3 months, featuring new Pokémon and powerful cards.

Expansion packs are recommended for those who want to collect cards that can be used in the latest environment. However, the inclusion rate of rare cards is low, so luck is needed to draw the desired card.

Strengthened Expansion Pack
A strengthened version of the pack released between expansion packs. The price is the same as the expansion pack, but the number of included cards is fewer, while the inclusion rate of rare cards is set higher. Cards that align with specific themes are often included.

High-Class Pack
A luxurious pack released about once a year. Each pack costs around 550 yen (including tax), which is relatively high, but the inclusion rate of rare cards is very high, and powerful cards from the past may also be reprinted. Many beautifully illustrated cards for collectors are also included.

High-class packs are recommended for those who want to collect powerful cards all at once or enhance their collection. However, they are often popular and difficult to obtain.

Starter Set (Pre-Built Deck)
Not a pack, but the most recommended product for beginners. It comes with a complete deck of 60 cards and all the tools needed for battles. The price ranges from 1,200 to 4,000 yen, allowing you to start playing right away.

For detailed selection of packs, refer to the Pokémon Card Pack Purchase Guide.

How to Obtain Reservation, Lottery, and Restock Information

Popular new products often sell out quickly on the release date. To ensure you get them, make use of reservations and lotteries.

Each card shop shares stock and reservation information on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. By following nearby card shops, you can quickly catch restock information.

Online Shops of Electronics Retailers

Lottery Sales
Popular products may be sold via lottery. Lotteries are held on Pokémon Center Online, Amazon, Rakuten, etc., so applying gives you a chance to win. Lottery periods are often just a few days, so be sure not to miss them.

Restock Information

Let's Try Battling

Once you remember the rules, it's time to actually try battling. You may feel nervous at first, but after a few plays, you'll naturally get the hang of it.

The match progresses in the flow of preparation → deciding who goes first → repeating turns. In each turn, players draw cards from the deck, put out Pokémon, attach energy, and use moves. At first, it's fine to proceed while confirming each action one by one.

In this section, we will explain the preparation for the match, the actual flow of turns, and tips that beginners should keep in mind. By reading this, you can approach the match with confidence. For more details, please see the flow of Pokémon card battles.

Preparation and Flow of the Match

Before starting the match, the following preparations are made.

1. Shuffle the deck
Both players should shuffle their decks well and place them in the designated position on the playmat as the draw pile. Having the opponent shuffle (or cut) the deck makes it fairer.

2. Draw 7 cards
Draw the top 7 cards from the deck to form your hand. At this point, there is no need to show them to the opponent.

3. Put Basic Pokémon in the Battle Area and Bench
Choose one Basic Pokémon from your hand and place it face down in the battle area. Additionally, you can choose up to 5 Basic Pokémon from your hand and place them face down on the bench (optional).

If you have no Basic Pokémon in your hand, declare a "Mulligan." Return all cards in your hand to the deck, shuffle, and draw 7 cards again. If your opponent has declared a Mulligan, you can draw one extra card from the deck.

4. Place 6 Prize Cards
Take the top 6 cards from the deck and place them face down as Prize Cards on the side. The Prize Cards cannot be viewed during the match.

5. Reveal all cards
Both players simultaneously reveal their Pokémon in the battle area and on the bench. This is when the match officially starts.

6. Decide who goes first
Decide who goes first and who goes second by flipping a coin or playing rock-paper-scissors. The player going first cannot use moves on their first turn.

Detailed Flow of Turns

When it is your turn, take the following actions in order.

1. First action of the turn (mandatory)
Draw one card from the deck. This is a mandatory action and cannot be skipped. If there are 0 cards in the deck and you cannot draw, you lose at that point.

2. Actions during your turn (execute in any order)
You can perform the following actions in any order and as many times as you like.

• Put Basic Pokémon on the Bench: You can put any number of Basic Pokémon from your hand onto the Bench (the Bench can hold a maximum of 5 Pokémon).
• Evolve Pokémon: Place an Evolution Pokémon on top of a Pokémon that is in play. However, you cannot evolve a Pokémon that just came into play this turn.
• Attach 1 Energy: Attach 1 Energy from your hand to one of your Pokémon. This can only be done once per turn.
• Use Trainer Cards: Use Items, Supporters, or Stadiums from your hand. You can only use one Supporter per turn.
• Use Abilities: Use the Pokémon's Abilities. The timing for using each Ability is predetermined.
• Switch Pokémon in the Battle Area: Use cards like "Switch" to swap Pokémon between the Battle Area and the Bench.
• Retreat: Discard Energy equal to the Retreat Cost of the Pokémon in the Battle Area and switch it with a Pokémon on the Bench. This can only be done once per turn.

3. Use a Move (Optional, only once at the end of your turn)
Use one move of the Pokémon in the Battle Area. If the required Energy is attached, you can use the move. After using a move, your turn ends. You can also end your turn without using a move.

4. Check if the Opponent's Pokémon is Knocked Out
If the damage from a move reduces the opponent's Pokémon's HP to 0 or below, that Pokémon is "Knocked Out." Place the Knocked Out Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the discard pile, and you take 1 Prize card. The opponent then puts a new Pokémon from their Bench into the Battle Area.

The player who takes 6 Prize cards wins.

Tips for Beginners to Keep in Mind During Battles

Here are three points that beginners should be aware of during battles.

1. Be Aware of Energy Management
Since you can only attach one Energy per turn, it is important to decide which Pokémon to attach Energy to. In the early game, focus on concentrating Energy on Pokémon that can attack immediately. If you spread Energy too thinly across the Bench, it will delay your attack timing.

It is also important to consider the "Retreat Cost." Pokémon with a high Retreat Cost cannot easily escape once they are in the Battle Area. Therefore, it is reassuring to have a means of retreat (like Switch) in your hand before bringing a Pokémon into the Battle Area.

2. Use Support Cards at the Right Time
Since you can only use one Support card per turn, the timing of when to use them can determine the outcome of the game.

• Professor's Research: When you have few cards in hand or only unusable cards.
• Nanjamo: When your opponent has many cards in hand or when you want to turn the tide in an unfavorable situation.
• Boss's Orders: When you want to drag out and defeat a weakened or important Pokémon from your opponent's Bench.

Beginners should actively use "Professor's Research" to increase their hand size. The more cards you have, the more options you have.

3. Be Aware of the Prize Race
The "Prize Race" is a competition to see how many Prize cards each player has taken. If you take 6 Prize cards before your opponent, you win, so always be aware of "how many more cards you need to win."

In particular, ex Pokémon are worth 2 Prize cards when defeated, so it is worth actively targeting them. Conversely, if your ex Pokémon is about to be knocked out, consider using "Switch" to escape.

Also, when the opponent has only one card left in the final stages, it is important to predict what they will do to take that last card and to prepare countermeasures.

Participate in Events and Tournaments

Once you get used to battling, try participating in events and tournaments. You can meet fellow enthusiasts who share the same hobby, and your motivation will soar.

There are various types of Pokémon card events, ranging from "Gym Battles" held at card shops to large official tournaments. Many events are beginner-friendly, and the staff will kindly support you. Additionally, registration for the "Players Club" may be required to participate in events.

In this section, we will explain recommended events for beginners, official tournaments, and how to register for the Players Club. Let's find new enjoyment in battling. For more details, please see the Pokémon Card Event Participation Guide.

Gym Battle (Store Event)

Gym Battles are store events held regularly at card shops nationwide. They are the most recommended events for beginners and are easy to participate in.

The features of Gym Battles are as follows:

Ease of Participation
The participation fee is inexpensive, usually around free to 500 yen, and you can often join on the day without a reservation. There is a welcoming atmosphere for beginners, and staff and veteran players will teach you kindly. Anyone with a deck can participate, so even beginners who started with an ex starter deck are welcome.

Format
Typically, 3 to 4 rounds are held in a Swiss draw format (where players are matched based on their win rates). You can participate in all matches regardless of winning or losing, and there is no elimination during the event. Each match lasts about 30 minutes, making the entire event last 2 to 3 hours.

Participation Benefits
Just by participating, you may receive exclusive promo cards or participation prizes. Additionally, there may be extra prizes for top finishers. The value of the event lies more in participation than in winning or losing.

How to Find Them
Check the websites or X (formerly Twitter) accounts of nearby card shops. The schedule for Gym Battles is posted there. You can also search for nearby store events on the official Pokémon card website's "Event Search".

When participating for the first time, if you honestly say, "I'm a beginner," the staff will provide you with careful support. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

Official Tournaments

Official tournaments are large-scale events hosted by Pokémon. They are recommended for those who want to enjoy serious battles.

City League
These are official tournaments held regionally. The participation fee is around 500 to 1,000 yen, and pre-registration is required. Top finishers will receive prizes and the opportunity to participate in the Champions League.

City Leagues are more competitive than Gym Battles, attracting players with strong decks. However, beginners can also participate, making it a great opportunity to gain battle experience. Be sure to check the regulations (the range of usable cards) in advance.

Champions League
This is a large-scale tournament held nationwide. It takes place several times a year, with hundreds to over a thousand players participating. Top finishers are awarded substantial prizes and the opportunity to compete in the World Championships, attracting top players.

It may be daunting for beginners, but just watching can be educational. You can see top players' decks and strategies up close, which boosts motivation.

Eligibility and Regulations
To participate in official tournaments, registration with the Players Club is required (as mentioned later). Additionally, each tournament has its own "regulations," which restrict the cards that can be used. As of 2025, the "Standard Regulation" is mainly adopted, allowing the use of cards from the latest few years.

Make sure to check the latest regulation information on the official site before participating.

Registration for the Players Club

The Players Club is the official player registration system for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Registration is necessary to participate in official tournaments.

How to Register
1. Access the official Pokémon Trading Card Game website
2. Register as a new member from the "Players Club" page
3. Register your email address and password
4. A player ID will be issued

Registration is free and takes about 5 minutes to complete. The issued player ID is necessary for tournament participation, so be sure to keep it handy.

Benefits
- You can participate in official tournaments

- You can access the official community

By registering, you can easily participate in official tournaments in the future if you wish. It is recommended to register while you are still a beginner.

Enjoyable Online as Well

Even if there are no opponents nearby, you can easily enjoy Pokémon cards online. The charm is being able to compete with players from all over the country from the comfort of your home.

There are three methods for online battles: "Remote Battles" using physical cards, and using digital cards through smartphone apps like "Pokémon TCG Pocket" and "Pokémon Card Game Live." Each has its own characteristics, so choose the method that suits you best.

In this section, we will explain how to start and the features of each online battle method. Enjoy Pokémon cards anytime and anywhere. For more details, see Online Battles for Pokémon Cards.

How to Start Remote Battles

Remote battles are a way to compete with distant opponents using physical cards via video calls. The biggest advantage is that you can use the deck you already have.

What You Need
- Your own deck (60 cards)
- Damage counters, coins, playmat
- Smartphone or tablet (with camera)
- Video call app (like Discord or other video call apps)

Setup Method
1. Fix the camera of your smartphone or tablet directly above the playmat (use books or cardboard to raise the height)
2. Connect with your opponent via Discord or a video call app
3. Adjust the camera position so that both players' fields are visible
4. Proceed with the battle as usual

Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantage is that you can use the cards you already own without needing to collect new digital cards. Additionally, you can enjoy the game while communicating with friends or acquaintances by coordinating your schedules.

The disadvantages are that the setup can be somewhat cumbersome, and depending on the camera quality, it may be difficult to see the opponent's cards. Additionally, you need to find your own opponents.

How to Find Opponents
- Search for "#ポケカリモート対戦募集" on X (formerly Twitter)
- Join the Pokémon Card community server on Discord
- Arrange matches with friends or acquaintances

Live can be downloaded from the official website. There are PC and smartphone versions available, and you can use the same account for both.

Enjoying as a Collection

Pokémon cards have a great appeal not only for battles but also as a collection. The joy of collecting beautifully illustrated cards provides a different satisfaction than battling.

The way to enjoy collections varies from person to person. Some collect their favorite Pokémon, some chase rare cards, and others collect works from specific illustrators, offering diverse ways to enjoy. Additionally, some cards are traded at high prices, adding an investment aspect.

In this section, we will explain the appeal of collections, how to store cards, and how to view rarity and value. Let's protect our precious cards and enjoy the collection. For more details, please see Pokémon Card Collection.

Appeal of Collections

There are three main appeals to collecting Pokémon cards.

Value as Art
The illustrations on Pokémon cards are created by top illustrators. In particular, the illustrations of SAR (Special Art Rare) and SR (Super Rare) cards are of a quality that can be considered works of art.

For example, popular Pokémon like Pikachu and Eevee have dozens of illustration variations. Even for the same Pokémon, the illustrator and expression methods differ, providing the joy of finding your favorite card.

Just by displaying the cards or organizing them in a file to admire, you can gain a sense of satisfaction. Even those who do not battle can enjoy Pokémon cards just through collecting.

Aspect of Investment
Some rare cards may increase in value over time after their release. In particular, early out-of-print cards and high-rarity cards of popular Pokémon can be traded for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen.

However, not all cards will appreciate in value. Prices fluctuate based on popularity and demand, so if you are purchasing for investment purposes, it is essential to research the market well. It is recommended to think of it as "collecting cards you love, resulting in an increase in value."

Sense of Achievement in Completion
Completing all cards from a specific series or expansion pack, known as "completion," is also one of the joys for collectors. Arranging them in a file like a Pokédex and experiencing the moment of completion is exceptional.

Expansion packs typically consist of about 100 to 200 types of cards. If you aim for completion, you can either buy multiple boxes of packs or purchase single cards to fill in the gaps.

How to Store Cards

To protect your precious cards from scratches and deterioration, it is important to know the proper storage methods.

Protect with Sleeves
The most basic storage method is to place cards in sleeves (transparent protective bags). There are two types of sleeves: "inner sleeves" and "regular sleeves."

• Inner Sleeve: A thin sleeve that fits the card size perfectly. This should be the first step.
• Regular Sleeve: A sleeve that provides additional protection over the inner sleeve.

It is especially recommended to protect high-value or rare cards with double sleeves (inner + regular). If you want even more protection, you can also place them in a hard case (loader).

Organize in a File
Cards placed in sleeves should be stored in a dedicated card file. Card files consist of pocket-style pages, allowing for easy organization and visibility of the cards.

Points to consider when choosing a file:
- Is the pocket size suitable for the cards?
- Are there enough pages?
- Is it a horizontal or vertical entry type? (Horizontal entry is less likely to drop cards.)

While simple files are available at 100 yen shops, it is advisable to use a dedicated card file when storing important cards.

Storage Precautions
Cards are made of paper, so they are susceptible to moisture and UV rays. Please pay attention to the following points when storing them.

• Avoid Moisture: This can cause mold and warping. It's safe to store with a desiccant.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: This can cause fading. Store in a dark place.
• Avoid High Temperatures: This can cause deformation. Store in a room temperature location.

Protect your valuable cards with a set of sleeve + binder + appropriate storage location.

Understanding Rarity and Value

Pokémon cards have rarity (scarcity), which greatly affects their value.

Types of Rarity
A mark indicating rarity is printed on the bottom right of the card.

• C (Common): The most common cards. Multiple cards are included in one pack.
• U (Uncommon): Slightly rarer than common cards. 2-3 cards are included in one pack.
• R (Rare): Rare cards. About 1 card is included in one pack.
• RR (Double Rare): Rarer than rare cards. Many powerful Pokémon are included.
• RRR (Triple Rare): Even rarer cards. Includes ex Pokémon, etc.
• SR (Super Rare): High rarity cards with special illustrations.
• SAR (Special Art Rare): One of the highest rarities. Characterized by beautiful illustrations.
• UR (Ultra Rare): Special cards in gold. The highest rarity.

Generally, the higher the rarity, the higher the value, but popular Pokémon or cards with powerful effects can be expensive even if they have lower rarity.

How to Check Card Value
The market price of cards can be checked using the following methods.

• Online Stores of Card Shops: You can search for prices on the websites of major card shops like "Yuyutei" and "Card Rush."
• Flea Market Apps: You can see actual transaction prices on Mercari and Rakuma.
• Auction Sites: You can check past auction prices on sites like Yahoo Auctions.

Even for the same card, the price varies depending on the condition (presence of scratches, warping, whitening, etc.). Mint condition (no scratches) is traded at high prices, while cards with scratches are cheaper.

Examples of High-Value Cards
As of 2025, the following cards are being traded at high prices.

• Pikachu SAR: Tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand yen
• Charizard SAR: Tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand yen
• Initial version of old back cards: Thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen
• Out-of-print promo cards: Tens of thousands to millions of yen

However, prices fluctuate constantly, so it is important to check the latest market prices.
