Introduction: Your Gateway to the Pokémon TCG

Have you ever wanted to jump into the world-famous Pokémon Trading Card Game but felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of cards, rules, and strategies? Pokémon TCG: My First Battle is here to change that. Designed from the ground up for brand-new Trainers, this compact starter set strips away the complexity and keeps all the fun, letting you learn the basics of battling in minutes.

Why Pokémon TCG: My First Battle Stands Out

• Beginner-friendly design – Every component is chosen to make your first game smooth and memorable.
• Two ready-to-play 17-card decks – No deck-building required. Just open the box, pick a deck, and start battling.
• Iconic Pokémon leads – Play as Pikachu or Bulbasaur (plus their trusted Pokémon friends) and learn the core mechanics with familiar faces.
• Step-by-step play guides – Colorful booklets walk you through set-up, turns, attacks, and victory conditions.
• Reusable components – Full-size playmat, jumbo metallic coin, and punch-out damage counters get you ready for future matches.
• Quick game length – A typical match lasts 10–15 minutes, so you can replay, swap decks, and grow your skills fast.

Inside the Box

Pokémon TCG: My First Battle keeps things simple without sacrificing the excitement that makes Pokémon battles legendary. Here is what you will find when you lift the lid:

• 2 mini 17-card decks (Pikachu deck and Bulbasaur deck), each containing one shiny foil card of its star Pokémon.
• 2 single-sheet deck guides that explain exactly how your cards work together, when to attack, and how to evolve Pokémon.
• 1 sturdy paper playmat that lays out Active, Bench, Deck, and Prize card zones so you always know where your cards belong.
• 1 jumbo metallic Pokémon coin used for coin flips during key in-game moments.
• 1 punchboard of damage counters and status markers for a complete play experience.
• 1 rules summary booklet that introduces keywords like Energy, Attack Cost, Weakness, and Prizes in simple language.

Learning in Real Time

Traditional 60-card decks can be intimidating for new players. My First Battle solves that problem with its streamlined 17-card format. Fewer cards mean fewer decisions per turn, allowing you to focus on learning core concepts such as:

• Attaching Energy and understanding attack costs.
• Evolving Basic Pokémon into stronger Stage 1 Pokémon.
• Managing Active and Benched Pokémon to outplay your opponent.
• Taking Prize cards and recognizing win conditions.

Because both decks are balanced around the same power level, adults can enjoy teaching children without feeling like they need to “go easy,” and kids can teach their friends afterwards with confidence.

From First Battle to Future Champion

Once you master the fundamentals, you can graduate to full 60-card Theme or Battle Decks with the skills you have built. The playmat, coin, and counters remain useful, and many of the cards in your mini decks appear in larger Pokémon TCG expansions, creating a seamless path for growth.

Parents will appreciate that My First Battle is affordable, compact, and easy to store, while seasoned collectors can use it as a teaching kit for younger siblings, students, or new league members.

Who Will Love This Product?

• Young Trainers (ages 6+) – Simple rules and quick games keep short attention spans fully engaged.
• Families – A perfect rainy-day activity that doubles as a gentle introduction to strategic thinking.
• Teachers and librarians – An excellent toolkit for after-school clubs and community events.
• Collectors – The exclusive foil versions of Pikachu and Bulbasaur make charming additions to any binder.
