{{incomplete|needs=Needs images.}}

The '''[[deck]]''' (Japanese: '''デッキ''' ''deck'') contains the cards used by a duelist in the video games {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]].

In these games, duelists use 60-card decks. The player may have up to 4 decks and save additional customized decks in the [[Deck Save Machine]]. Additional predefined deck configurations may be built with the [[Auto Deck Machine]]s if the player has all the required cards. The decks are edited using the Deck option in the [[menu]].

==List of decks==
In both games, the Deck option in the menu displays the list of decks, which contains four deck slots. If the player has more than one built deck, they may choose one of them as their main deck, which is identified by a symbol of a hand holding cards. The main deck is used in all duels. Empty decks are named "New Deck" (Japanese: あたらしく　つくる ''build new''). The only information available on this screen are the names of the decks, the deck slots used, and which is the main deck.

The player always has at least one deck, since they receive a [[starter deck]] at the beginning of each game.

==List of cards==
In both games, each deck may be edited with a list of all available cards. The cards are distributed in nine pages: the first seven are Pokémon {{TCG|type|types}} ({{TCG|Grass}}, {{TCG|Fire}}, {{TCG|Water}}, {{TCG|Lightning}}, {{TCG|Fighting}}, {{TCG|Psychic}}, and {{TCG|Colorless}}), and the other two are {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}}, and {{TCG|Energy card|Energy cards}}. The cards are ordered by their [[index number]] which is hidden in the internal data, except the energy cards are at the last page rather than the first. All cards of the same name are listed together. Variations such as [[Flying Pikachu (Wizards Promo 25)|Flying Pikachu]], [[Dark Slowbro (Team Rocket 12)|Dark Slowbro]], and [[Cool Porygon (Wizards Promo 15)|Cool Porygon]] are listed directly after their normal versions. All evolutionary families are listed together, except for {{TCG|Eevee}}'s family which is split between different type pages. Repeated cards are organized by their [[level]]. 

The current and maximum number of each card is shown. (for instance, "3/8" means that 3 cards are in the current deck, out of 8 available cards) However, cards used in other decks don't count as available cards, so it's possible the maximum number of a card will be "0" until it is removed from another deck or the player receives a repeated card. If the player doesn't have a certain card, it doesn't appear in the list at all. There may be up to 4 cards of the same name per deck, regardless of whether they are the same or different cards. Variations with different names count as different cards. For instance, the player may have not only
four {{TCG|Pikachu}} cards, but also four [[Flying Pikachu (Wizards Promo 25)|Flying Pikachu]] cards in the same deck. The finished deck is required to have exactly 60 cards, or else it can't be saved. While the deck is being edited, it can have between 0 and 80 cards.

In [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], whenever the player creates a new deck, edits or dismantles an existing deck, the game asks if they want a copy of the configuration saved in the [[Deck Save Machine]].

===Options===
The player may press B in the list of cards to see these options.

|- style="background:#fff"
| Confirm || かくにん ''Confirm'' || See a list of cards currently in the deck, including any unsaved changes. It also displays the number of cards in the deck. If this is currently the main deck, then the symbol of a hand holding cards is displayed here as well. This is also accessible by pressing Start.
|- style="background:#fff"

|}

==Deck name==
The deck name may have up to 20 characters in the American and European versions of the first game or 10 characters in the Japanese version of both games. The word "Deck" is mandatory at the end (or at the beginning in some languages), which is automatically added and doesn't count towards the character limit.

In the Japanese version of {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, there are 3 separate screens: [[wikipedia:hiragana|hiragana]], [[wikipedia:katakana|katakana]], and capital letters. In [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]] (which is Japan-only), there are 4 separate screens: the same as before plus another for lowercase letters. The Select button is a shortcut to switch screens, which does not do anything in languages other than Japanese.

There is an "End" (Japanese: おわる ''Finish'') button at the end of the deck name screen, to finish typing the deck name. The Start button is a shortcut to point the cursor to this button.

===Available characters===
These are the available characters for the deck name, depending on the game and language.
