A '''deck''', in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], is 60 cards put together by a player in order to compete against others.
#REDIRECT:[[Deck]]
 
A typical deck will contain {{TCG|Pokémon}} of one or two different {{TCG|type}}s; many do not go above this due to a lack of space for adequate Energy to power their moves. In addition to Pokémon, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s may be included (though their inclusion is completely optional, most decks will have several), and {{TCG|Energy card}}s to power the Pokémon's attacks.
 
In a standard deck, only four cards of the same name may be included, except for Basic Energy cards, of which there can be as many as a player desires to fill the deck to 60. This four-card rule includes cards with the same name but different effects: a player may have three {{TCG|Stormfront}} {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Pikachu|70}} and one {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Pikachu|70}}, but ''only'' four which have the name "Pikachu". Cards that have a different name ({{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Crobat|3}} and {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Crobat|23}}, for example) count differently, and thus players may have four of each in their deck. {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} Pokémon count as the same as their non-δ counterparts.
