Within the Build and Battle Stadium box, you’ll find 2 individual Build and Battle Boxes – one for each player, with each containing a ready-to-play 40-card deck. The Build and Battle Stadium box follows the pattern of previous Build and Battle Stadium products, in that they include enough cards for two players to get started with the latest set of Pokemon cards.

Crown Zenith Tins (March 17, 2023)Ī new era kicks off for the Pokemon TCG (just as it did for the video games – check out our Pokemon Scarlet and Violet review here!) with booster packs, Elite Trainer Boxes, Build and Battle Stadium boxes – and more – on the way.Įlite Trainer Boxes come in two variations – Scarlet or Violet, as you may expect – and are packaged with 9 booster packs, 1 full art, foil promo card (featuring Koraidon or Miraidon, depending on which box you picked!), 65 card sleeves featuring Koraidon or Miraidon, 45 Energy cards, a player’s guide to the Scarlet and Violet expansion, 6 damage counter dice, 1 coin-flip die, 2 plastic condition markers, a collector’s box with 4 dividers and, finally, a code card for Pokémon Trading Card Game Online/Live.

Each one is based on a deck used by one of the Championship winners. The four available decks are: the ADP Deck, Shape of Mew Deck, Cheryl Again Deck, and Ice Rider Palkia Deck. You’ll get a booklet, pin badge, coin, deck box, playmat, and poster too. However, if you’re still looking to get hold of these powerful decks, they offer pretty good value for money.Įach will include a 60-card World Championship deck, along with numerous items from the 2022 World Championships. Lastly, it’s also worth bearing in mind that the tactics needed to use these decks successfully may not be particularly obvious or intuitive for new players. They aren’t tournament legal either, which means you’ll only be able to use the decks in casual play against your friends or family (though for most people, that won’t be an issue, admittedly!). Though it may seem – to new players at least – that proven World Championship decks will make them unstoppable in the Pokemon TCG, there’s a few things to bear in mind.įirstly, card backs don’t feature the standard Pokemon card design, which means that, unless you use opaque card sleeves, you won’t be able to use these cards to create a deck with other cards in your collection.
