Unlike regular expansions, Generations booster packs could not be purchased individually 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. | Unlike regular expansions, Generations booster packs could not be purchased individually from booster boxes.

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 (Japanese: '''スターターパック カメックスver.''') was later made available, initially exclusive to venues hosting the Kamex Mega Battle in Japan during May 2016, followed by a more general release from the Pokémon Center Online store in June 2016. This version substitutes the {{TCG|Grass}} or {{ct|Fire}} cards available in the first section of the regular version with {{ct|Water}} cards. These cards appear in the core Generations set, but are classed as secret cards in the Starter Pack. | The Japanese Starter Pack emulates the {{TCG|Starter Deck|original}} both in terms of design and the random nature of the cards included.
