Morelull, Growlithe, Torkoal, Makuhita, Kangaskhan, and Trainers from SM1 Starter Decks!
A new video posted to the Japanese Pokemon Card channel has revealed a number of cards from the Incineroar-GX and Decidueye-GX Starter Decks! Some of the cards shown off were old, but there were also some new cards revealed. The starter decks will be released on December 9th alongside Collection Sun and Moon, and all cards shown will likely all appear in the English Sun and Moon TCG set in February.
The video also discussed the composition of the decks, including each deck’s fixed cards. For example, all Incineroar-GX decks include 3 Litten, 3 Torracat, 2 Incineroar-GX, 1 Growlithe, 1 Torkoal, 1 Kangaskhan, 2 Cosmog, 2 Switch, 1 Rare Candy, 2 Ultra Ball, 2 Nest Ball, 1 Timer Ball, 2 Lillie, 3 Hau, 2 Professor Kukui, 1 Ilima, 2 Double Colorless Energy, and 7 Fire Energy. The Decidueye-GX deck composition is similar, but swaps in Morelull and Pinsir to replace Growlithe and Torkoal.
The remaining cards in the deck seem to be randomly assigned from a few possible assortments, presumably two for each deck. One such assortment was revealed in the video and included 3 Makuhita, 2 Hariyama, 1 Sandygast, and 7 Fighting energy.
Thanks to Bangiras for the translations! Because of the blurriness of the shots and some of the cards being covered up by other cards, all of these translations are tentative and may be subject to change.
