      Let's Battle!

      This is a good way to help get anyone into the TCG. Has 3 different decks to help your play style, and you’ll be able to customize when you have your own cards to help build the deck you want to build.

      Perfect for beginners!

      This was gifted to me. Im more into collecting the packs with random cards inside for the fun. I can say that this is a very good box set for any person attempting to learn and play the Pokemon came. All cards are preset and the same for every set.
