Pokemon TCG Classic: Here’s release date, price, where to buy and more

The upcoming Pokemon TCG Classic is slated to hit shelves on November 17, 2023, with a price tag of $399.99, according to details on Pokemon's official website. This "high-end collectible" set can be snagged at Pokemon Center locations and local hobby stores, with preorders currently open on Pokemon Center's online platform.

In the Pokemon TCG Classic package, buyers will find three decks showcasing the fully evolved Kanto starters - Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. Each deck is accompanied by a deck box adorned with Energy symbols matching the respective decks. The set also includes a toolbox containing damage counters, Poison and Burn markers, along with a foldable game board that conveniently stores all components.

Newly-released cards such as Ho-Oh ex, Lugia ex, Suicune ex, as well as Trainer cards like Sun Seed, Scorching Charcoal, and Drops in the Ocean are part of the deal. However, it's worth noting that the majority of these cards are not eligible for tournament play. The exception is the Basic Energy items, which are tournament-legal.


The game board adds an extra layer of excitement with a small chute for an orb. A white-bordered hole denotes a Heads roll, while a black-bordered hole signifies a Tails roll. This feature adds a random element to gameplay, enhancing the overall experience for players.

Pokemon enthusiasts and TCG collectors can grab their copies of Pokemon TCG Classic at local retailers or opt for the convenience of online preorders through Pokemon Center. The November 17 release promises a comprehensive package that combines nostalgia with new card releases, making it an attractive addition to any Pokemon TCG collection.
