Unlike regular expansions, Generations booster packs could not be purchased indvidually from booster boxes. Instead, they were only available in special 20th Anniversary-related items of merchandise, which included Mythical Pokémon Collections and Red & Blue Collections. Each Mythical Pokémon Collection comes packaged with 2 Generations packs, in addition to a special {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|XY Black Star Promos|promotional}} card and collector's pin featuring 1 of the 11 Mythical Pokémon available as part of the [[20th Anniversary#Event distributions|20th Anniversary distributions]] during 2016. The {{TCGMerch|XY BREAK|Series|Mythical Pokémon Collection—Mew}} was the first of these products available from February 22, 2016, concluding with the {{TCGMerch|XY BREAK|Series|Mythical Pokémon Collection—Meloetta}} in December 2016, mirroring the distributions. Each of the 4 Red & Blue Collection boxes available throughout 2016 contain 4 Generations packs in addition to either a sculpted figure or {{TCG|Jumbo card}} of the focal Pokémon, depending on which country the product was made for sale.

The Japanese Starter Pack emulates the {{TCG|Starter Deck|original}} both in terms of design and the random nature of the cards included. While the cards contained in each deck can vary, they are grouped based on [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] and [[type]]. The deck can be broken down into two sections, which are packaged separately. The first section will always contain one of two [[Mega Pokémon]], either M Venusaur-EX or M Charizard-EX, in addition to a fixed selection of Pokémon and Energy cards relative to its type, plus multiples of Trainer cards for a total of 27 cards. The second section contains 3 different groups of Pokémon containing an evolutionary family of 1 type, plus 1 other Pokémon of the same type, matching Energy cards, and a selection of single Trainer cards for a total of 33 cards. None of the cards available as part of the pack have rarity symbols. A special Blastoise version of the Starter Pack could be purchased exclusively at venues hosting the Kamex Mega Battle in Japan during May 2016, which substitutes the Venusaur or Charizard cards available in the regular version with Blastoise. Blastoise-EX and M Blastoise-EX appear in the core Generations set, but are classed as secret cards in the Starter Pack, numbered 073/072 and 074/072 respectively.
