The '''Entry Pack''' (Japanese: '''エントリーパック''' ''Entry Pack'') is a Japanese-exclusive {{TCG|Half deck|Half Deck}} Deck Kit that was released alongside the {{TCG|Space-Time Creation}} expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].  

The Entry Pack was released just before the first DP expansion and as its name suggests, is designed to showcase a selection of cards from the expansion before the full general release. The Deck Kit itself consists of three {{TCG|Half deck|Half Deck}}s based on the [[Generation IV]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] and their evolutions: {{p|Torterra}}, {{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Empoleon}}. The Torterra Half Deck includes 28 cards, Infernape includes 30, and Empoleon includes 32, each one cumulatively adding an extra Pokémon to the deck and increasing play strategy. This was also later done with the Half Decks included in the {{TCG|Gift Box DPt}}.

Like other {{TCG|Half deck|Half Deck}}, the Entry Pack also includes a rulebook, {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Damage|damage counters}}, {{TCG|Special Conditions|status counters}}, and a {{TCG|Coin|custom coin}}. The entry pack also features a CD-ROM demonstrating how to play the game.

Unlike the majority of {{TCG|Half deck|Half Deck}}s, all cards included in the kit could be found in the main expansion. These cards differ by not featuring [[Rarity]] symbols. These cards, if packaged could also be found in the {{TCG|Random Construction Starter Deck}} as opposed to those from the main expansion.
