How to Use a Start Deck 100 Battle Collection

Quick Answer

Open the factory-sealed deck, sort the 60 cards by type and rarity, then use the included damage counter sheet to play immediately. The random deck type means you get a ready-to-play deck without building one from scratch.

How to Use Your Start Deck 100 Battle Collection

1. Open the Factory-Sealed Deck: Remove the shrink wrap carefully to avoid damaging the box if you plan to keep it for display. Inside you will find a 60-card deck and a damage counter sheet. Do not mix the deck with other cards yet—keep it as-is for your first play. Common mistake: tearing the box wrapper can lower resale value if you later decide to sell the sealed deck.
2. Sort Cards by Type and Rarity: Separate Pokemon, Trainer, and Energy cards. Check the bottom-right corner for rarity symbols: a star for rare, a diamond for uncommon, and a circle for common. Look for MUR (Mega Ultra Rare) and SAR (Special Art Rare) finishes—these are the most valuable cards in the set. If you find a SAR or MUR card, consider sleeving it immediately to protect its condition.
3. Review the Deck List: Write down or photograph the deck list so you know exactly which cards you have. This helps you track which deck type you received and makes it easier to search for strategy guides online using the deck's name or main Pokemon. Without a deck list, you may forget which cards are in the deck if you later remove or swap cards.
4. Play a Practice Game: Use the included damage counter sheet to track damage on your Pokemon. Play against another starter deck or a friend's deck to learn the deck's strengths and weaknesses. Focus on understanding the main attacker's energy requirements and the Trainer cards that support it. Common mistake: forgetting to use Trainer cards during your turn—they are often the key to winning.
5. Store the Deck Properly: Place the deck in a deck box or a binder sleeve to keep cards from bending or getting dirty. If you plan to play regularly, consider double-sleeving the rare cards. Store the damage counter sheet with the deck so it is ready for your next game. Leaving cards loose in a bag can cause edge wear and reduce their value over time.
