In a standard legal deck, only four cards of the same name may be included, except for Basic Energy cards and {{TCG|Arceus}} (in [[Generation IV]]), of which there can be as many as a player desires to fill the deck to 60. This four-card rule includes cards with the same name but different effects: a player may have three {{TCG|Stormfront}} {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Pikachu|70}} and one {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Pikachu|70}}, but ''only'' four which have the name "Pikachu". Cards that have a different name ({{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Crobat|3}} and {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Crobat|23}}, for example) count differently, and thus players may have four of each in their deck. {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} Pokémon count as the same as their non-δ counterparts. | In a standard legal deck, only four cards of the same name may be included, except for Basic Energy cards and {{TCG|Arceus}} (in [[Generation IV]]), of which there can be as many as a player desires to fill the deck to 60.
