Information

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Battle Academy is a beginner-friendly Deck Kit with three decks. In the 2024 edition of the product, each deck comes with its own deck box, and the Armarouge and Pikachu decks have guides detailing how to use them, while the Darkrai deck has an Advanced Rulebook. Additionally, a two-player playboard, status counters, an over-sized coin and a Pokémon Trading Card Game Live code card are included.

Most of the cards within the decks are reprints, but have colored silhouettes of the main Pokémon at the bottom right of the card. Cards within the Armarouge and Pikachu decks also have a number next to the silhouette, so the decks can be numbered according to their guides; the Darkrai deck has no guide and thus no numbers. Notably, several cards within the decks are SVP Black Star Promotional cards that are exclusive to this product.
