*1 random holographic rare card
==Information==
*1 random rare card
This deck is unusual as it contains a random assortment of cards, whereas regular 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.
*8 random uncommon cards
*20 random common cards
*30 Basic Energy cards:
**5 Grass Energy
**5 Fire Energy
**5 Water Energy
**5 Lightning Energy
**5 Psychic Energy
**5 Fighting Energy


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 TCG.


*This deck is unusual as the cards for each rarity are completely random, unlike English decks which all contain the same pre-selected cards. This trend has been used in Japan with every first Expansion in a new Generation, with the exception of [[Generation III]] where the idea was used in [[Half Deck]]s in the sixth Expansion.
Like others, the Starter Deck also includes a rulebook, damage counters, a custom coin, and card list.
