This Starter Deck is unusual as it contains a random assortment of cards, whereas regular Standard Decks contain the same pre-selected cards. This trend has been used in Japan with every first expansion in a new Generation and during transitional eras. Exceptions to this include [[Generation III]], where it was implemented in part via {{TCG|Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise Random Constructed Starter Decks|half decks}} alongside {{TCG|Flight of Legends}}; and [[Generation V]], where it was not implemented at all. The deck can contain any of the cards found in both the {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} boosters that make up the expansion (including {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}).

This trend had been used in Japan with every first expansion in a new Generation and during transitional eras until the BW Era, with an exception to this being in [[Generation III]], where it was implemented in part via {{TCG|Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise Random Constructed Starter Decks|Half Decks}} alongside {{TCG|Flight of Legends}}. The deck could contain any of the cards found in {{TCG|Space-Time Creation}}, including {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}. Additionally, cards from the {{TCG|Entry Pack}}, differing from the main expansion cards only by a lack of [[rarity]] symbols, could also be packaged in the deck.


This deck is similar to English releases such as the {{TCG|2-Player Starter Set}} and {{TCG|2-Player CD-ROM Starter Set}}, designed to introduce players to the [[Generation IV]] cards found in the main expansion.

===Trivia===
The majority of cards found in this deck have [[Rarity]] symbols, with the exception of the cards that also appear in the {{TCG|Entry Pack}}, released just before the deck and the main expansion.
