Pokémon TCG: Lucario ex Battle Deck (Ready-to-Play 60-Card Deck) & TCG: Ampharos ex Battle Deck (Ready-to-Play 60-Card Deck)

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 , Amphoros Ex, MewTwo Ex, Chien Pao Ex or Lucario 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, then following on with these battle packs.

Just what my grandson wanted for his birthday only one he didn't have looks good job well done fair price

Ampharos is my favourite pokemon. Bought these to play with my 10yo nephew. Great fun! Packaging and delivery were great.

Grandson enjoying them.

I purchased this Pokémon item for my niece, who's currently fascinated with Pokémon, and she absolutely loved it! It was the perfect choice for a young Pokémon fan.

It’s a very good price for a full deck, the deck is good as well and works well with the ampharos deck, as well as this it contains counters and playmats as well, overall an incredible package

👍

Another Deck to add to the collection, My son loves Lucario and the deck looked really good. Thank you.
