Pokémon Trading Card Game

Choose your favorite powerful Pokémon, build a deck with them, and then get ready to challenge a friend to battle! In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, players choose from among hundreds of different Pokémon, supportive Trainer cards, and power-giving Energy cards to find the perfect combinations that will lead them to victory. Two players face off with their decks, using their own Pokémon to Knock Out their opponent’s Pokémon and taking Prize cards for each battle won. The first player to take all of his or her Prize cards wins the game!   Not sure where to begin? Theme decks are ready-to-play decks built around popular Pokémon, balanced to play against other theme decks, and are a great way to start playing right away. Then, booster packs with extra cards let you collect different Pokémon to build your own decks with your own strategies. Some Pokémon are rarer than others, so collecting them all becomes part of the fun!   Since arriving in the U.S. from Japan in 1998, the Pokémon Trading Card Game has become an enduring phenomenon. Players can join local leagues to find opponents, participate in premier Championships series to perfect their games, and even aspire to be invited to the World Championships, where the best players from all dozens of nations come together to compete for amazing prizes.   Welcome to the world of the Pokémon Trading Card Game!     The latest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions are based on the never-before-seen Sinnoh region of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
