About Kalos Starter Set
What Kalos Starter Set is
The Kalos Starter Set is the first release of the XY Series, a trio of Theme Decks built around the Kalos first partner Pokémon and released on November 8, 2013. Its 39 cards carry no rarity symbols and are spread across the Chespin Deck, Fennekin Deck and Froakie Deck, each with a rulebook, damage counters, a coin, a deck box and a code for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online. Deluxe versions of the three decks followed on November 15, 2013 with a Black & White Series booster pack, a deck case, sleeves and a metal case, and the deluxe decks hold Sheen Holofoil prints of the starters and their evolutions. The set is also where the rule that the player going first cannot attack on the first turn began. In Japan it released as the Beginning Set and Beginning Set for Girls, two deck kits with the same three Half Decks.
What makes Kalos Starter Set different
- Greninja, Delphox and Chesnaught The three final evolutions, Chesnaught 5, Delphox 10 and Greninja 14, come as Sheen Holofoils in their decks, and the holofoil Greninja 14 and Chesnaught 5 rank in the set's top twelve in PSA 10.
- Small cards, thin supply Frogadier 13, Froakie 12 and Clauncher 15 lead the set in PSA 10, a sign of how few of these deck cards were ever graded.
Collecting and grading Kalos Starter Set
Frogadier 13 leads the set in PSA 10, with Froakie 12 second, then Clauncher 15, Snorlax 26, Miltank 27, the holofoil Greninja 14, Bidoof 29, Skitty 28, the regular Greninja 14 and Furfrou 33. The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value. Deck cards were shuffled and played rather than sleeved, so PSA 10 copies are scarce even though the cards cost little raw; the holofoil and regular prints are graded separately.
