The Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic was revealed on Pokémon Day back in February. The set will officially hit shelves starting Nov. 17. 

The set is designed to be a staple for any beginner Pokémon collector and features preconstructed decks and accessories. The Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic includes three preconstructed decks with 60 cards each, including a base set with Blastoise, Venusaur, and Charizard. Each deck also includes new cards like Lugia ex, Ho-Oh ex, Suicune ex, Sun Seed, Scorching Charcoal, Drops in the Ocean and a Mr. Mime card that was previously released only in Japan.

Accessories that come with the set include a game board with card placement zones; a compartment that holds the three included decks; a toolbox with everything kids need to duel, including stackable damage counters, three-dimensional Poison and Burn markers, and metal orbs that replace Pokémon coins; and card sleeves and deck boxes that kids can use to display cards when they aren’t being played with. 


The game is available for preorder at pokemoncenter.com.
