Deck: Difference between revisions

A '''Theme deck''' is a ''Preconstructed'' 60-card deck that is sold pre-packaged. Most Theme decks are designed with a [[#Deck archetype|specific strategy]] (such as {{TCG|Special Conditions}}) or theme (such as [[starter Pokémon]]) in mind. They tend not to be as strong as player [[#Constructed deck|constructed decks]], but can otherwise be a sound introduction to the game for new players since they have all the cards necessary for a single player to begin playing immediately. Theme decks are also a defined gameplay category in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]].

Similar to [[#Theme deck|Theme Decks]], '''Trainer Kits''', such as the {{TCG|Black & White Trainer Kit}}, come with two ''[[#Theme decks|Preconstructed]]'' 30-card decks or [[#Half deck|Half decks]], which may be combined to form one complete 60-card deck or can be built upon with a player’s own cards to make two 60-card play decks. Trainer kits also typically include game aids such as [[#Booster pack|Booster packs]], a rulebook, a {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Field|double-player play mat}}, {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Damage|damage counters}}, {{TCG|Special Conditions}}, a {{TCG|Coin}}, and a deck box – almost everything a single player could need to begin playing immediately.
