According to Pokemon’s website, Pokemon TCG Classic will be released on November 17, 2023. The “high-end collectible” set will cost $399.99.
This timeless set of Pokemon TCG decks will be available to purchase at Pokemon Center locations and local hobby stores. Preorders are now available at Pokemon Center online stores.
What’s in Pokemon TCG Classic?
The Pokemon TCG Classic will come with three Pokemon TCG decks, three deck boxes that feature Energy symbols that match the included decks, and a toolbox that includes damage counters, Poison and Burn markers. It will also include other items and a foldable game board that stores everything.
The three decks in this release will highlight the three fully evolved Kanto starters: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
Additionally, the decks will also come with newly-released cards like Ho-Oh ex, Lugia ex, Suicune ex, as well as the Sun Seed, Scorching Charcoal, and Drops in the Ocean Trainer cards.
Returning to the board, it also comes with a small chute that owners can use with an orb.
Should the orb land in a white-bordered hole, it will be equivalent to a Heads roll. On the other hand, an orb that lands in a black-bordered hole will be treated as a Tails roll.
It is, however, important to note that almost none of the cards included in this release are tournament-eligible. The only tournament-legal cards are the Basic Energy items.
