Each 60-card pre-constructed starter set includes 3 different Pokémon-GX cards, one of which is a reprint and two of which are exclusive, including the TAG TEAM pairing that the deck is centered around. The decks include:

Each starter set has particular focus on one type and contain a fixed selection of cards, which together form a numbered master set. The decks include a number of useful previously released Trainer cards, as well as some new ones, plus supporting basic Energy cards. Each set also comes packaged with 44 damage counters, 2 status markers, 1 GX marker, a rulebook, a player's guide, a coin, and a playmat.
The Tag Team GX Deluxe Starter Set (Japanese: TAG TEAM GX スターターデラックスセット) was also available from retailers on the same day. It includes a copy of both starter sets in addition to an original double deck case featuring Mitsuhiro Arita's artwork of the two TAG TEAMs, as well as two Holofoil SM-P Promotional cards: Mew and Yveltal.
