The Pocket Monsters Trading Card Game Deck, or Random Construction Starter Deck is an introductory deck from the Base Set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was released in Japan only and contains a random assortment of cards from the set. The deck was constructed in the following manner: -
- 1 random holographic rare card
- 1 random rare card
- 8 random uncommon cards
- 20 random common cards
- 30 Basic Energy cards:
- 5 Grass Energy
- 5 Fire Energy
- 5 Water Energy
- 5 Lightning Energy
- 5 Psychic Energy
- 5 Fighting Energy
- This deck is unusual as the cards for each rarity are completely random, unlike English decks which all contain the same pre-selected cards. This trend has been used in Japan with every first Expansion in a new Generation, with the exception of Generation III where the idea was used in Half Decks in the sixth Expansion.
- This deck is similar to English releases such as the 2 Player Starter Set and 2 Player CD-Rom Starter Set, designed to introduce players to the cards found in the set.
- Unlike the majority of cards found in decks in Japan, these cards have rarity symbols.
- Like other Theme Decks, the Pocket Monsters Trading Card Game Deck also includes a rulebook, damage counters, a custom coin (Chansey) and card list.
