Kalos Starter Set

The Pokémon TCG: Kalos Starter Set is a collectible card game released in November 2013 as an expansion for the previously released Pokémon Diamond & Pearl series. The set consists of a 60-card theme deck, 2 Trainer kits and 2 booster packs. The set focuses on the beginning of the journey in the Kalos region and features two of the starter Pokémon - Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie.

The theme deck focuses heavily on Fire, Water, and Grass-type Pokémon, two of which are exclusive to the set. On top of the starter Pokémon, the set also introduces a plethora of new Pokémon-EX cards - Fletchling, Pancham, Pumpkaboo, Helioptile, and Bunnelby. In addition, the set also includes a few evolution cards like Quillidn and Unfezant, as well as the evolution for each of the starters.

A number of Trainer cards are also included in the set from a variety of sources, such as Evosoda and Energy Retrieval. The Trainer kits introduce basic card play and game mechanics to new players and contain a mix of Basic Pokémon and Energy cards along with coins for play.

The Booster packs contain 10 additional cards each, and will feature some rare cards from the set as well as additional Trainer cards, Energy cards, and Basic Pokémon. The set also comes with a special set of metallic coins, or “Tadpole Coins”, which feature one of the three starters’ faces. These coins can be used in the game to keep track of damage counters, or can be kept as a collectible.

Overall, the Pokémon TCG: Kalos Starter Set is an essential set for new players to the Pokémon Trading Card Game and a great way to start your journey into the Kalos region.
