complementary deck when players join and up to
three decks players can earn at no additional

"Fans of
Pokémon TCG now have the freedom to battle
against one another regardless of location, and
that's exciting for the entire Pokémon

International. "Everything Pokémon TCG players
love about the game is replicated in a rich,
customizable online environment, and our hope is
that Pokémon TCG Online makes the game even more
accessible to anyone who wants to play."
