The official Japanese Pokemon TCG website has revealed all 414 cards from Start Deck 100!
Most of the cards are reprints. There are 19 alternate art reprints and 35 brand new cards.
Many of the cards will have reverse holo prints in the decks.
All 100 decks will release in Japan on December 17th. Each deck will have 60 cards.
Some of the new cards here, like Kingler VMAX and Aggron VMAX, will be included in our Brilliant Stars set in February.

I wonder if the US will release these as some sort of new kind of theme deck...
 
Liepard is amazing. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if it was 90 HP so it was Level Ball compatible, but we are getting Ultra Ball back so the 100 HP isn't as bad. I had been asking for a mon like this for Eternatus that badly needs the draw support.

Flygon gets yet another mediocre card. Sure, it hits for a single F energy, but it requires Rare Candy support and won't achieve the OHKO against any VMax like Leafeon VMax does. Maybe we could get a V card later... Please...

Escavalier is bad. Mew ruined any viability Decidueye had, so what chance does a card like this have?

Aggron is fat and hits hard, but requires too much energy and support only to hit marginally harder than Rusted Sword Zacian V. And once Zacian V rotates, there's no good metal engine to charge it. Zacian V is busted, that's my takeaway from this.

See that Axew? All those 60/70 hp basics should have effects like it. Either as an ability or as an attack. Allow stage 2 players to have a natural shortcut towards their endgame. Caterpie and Metapod do it, Duskull did it, etc. It probably will get OHKO'd next turn anyway, but at least you will get to evolve instead of the way stage 2s need to be played at the moment, where you need to invest into Inteleon for Rare Candy searches.
 
D'ya think maybe Creatures wants a Trade ability on a Stage 1 to be a staple in the game from now on?
 
Yes, I know the game has always been designed this way, but it'd be really really cool if playable Stage 1s in Stage 2 lines were the norm rather than the rare exception. Drizzile and Flaaffy are a good start! Stage 2 lines would be way more interesting and just better in general if the entire line contributed heavily to the game.

Like, come on, Vibrava and Fraxure are a lot cooler than THAT

EDIT: The new Grotle from Brilliant Stars is neat too
 
Why is Greedent V listed as a new card?

Didn't it already come out in Fusion Arts? It has the exact same artwork.

We already know that the Vmaxes are coming in Brilliant Stars, so they are all probably coming together in the set.
 
Energy Retrieval, Potion, Switch, Pokemon Catcher also have reset to F.

& Ultra Ball seems to have new art too. @Water Pokemon Master

It makes me happy to see this sentiment about stage 2s more and more as time goes on. I suggest they completely throw out 2 prizes in favor of Level X's, Amazing Rares and Prism Star-like cards for chase cards and ultra rares. Imagine that. A TCG meta with exclusively powerful one prizers and no 2 Prizers. Nobody would ever want to go back.

2 Prizers can work well! I think the ex era and the Sun & Moon era are proof that they can co-exist with single-prize Pokémon in a healthy metagame. And, besides that, I think collectors really dig ultra rares in general.

To me that's not the issue. The inherent problem is this: During that era, what were the relevant stage 2s? Yeah. Probably just Vikavolt and maybe Venusaur. But even then if you look at the sun and moon era tournament deck products, none of them have any meaningful stage 2s. That's just 30% of the larger problem at hand. Right now we have one relevant and strong stage 2, meanwhile before inteleon, wasn't it just universally Vs and Vmaxes?? Also they cab still do crazy ultra rares. Combine level x Pokemon and Character Rares. Combine Breaks and Amazing Rares. Hell, just do full art amazing rares instead of consistently doing whatever design hell that vmaxes came from.

You're forgetting a bunch of Stage 2s like Gardevoir GX, which literally won the world championships. Decidueye GX and both Solgaleo GXs were beasts as well. And a healthy metagame ideally has great Stage 1s and Basics as well.

You're darn tootin I'm forgetting them because my brain didn't even consider them due to them being GXs. I think you're taking what I'm saying in its most literal form when I'm just talking about 1 prizer stage 2s.

Don’t forget greninja break. Was literally a stage 3 deck and arguable one of the best decks back then.
