TheQuick Starter Gift Set (Japanese:クイックスターターギフトQuick Starter Gift) is a Japanese-exclusive Deck Kit for thePokémon Trading Card Game.

Information

The Deck Kit consists of two Standard Decks, the Red Deck and the Green Deck, which take their names from the first Japanese Pokémon gamesPokémon Red and Green. All of the cards included in the set are reprints from theVending Machine cards collection. These cards differ by not being printed on the same glossy card stock as their counterparts and by not having rarity symbols (as is the case with the majority of Japanese cards from fixed sets), making the reprints more valuable than the normal Vending Machine cards. The set also contains exclusive non-glossyHolofoil versions ofScyther,Moltres,Zapdos,Articuno andMaster Ball, all of which are non-Holofoil and glossy in the normal Vending Machine collection.

In addition to the two Standard Decks, the set contains a rulebook,damage counters, two poisonstatus counters, twocustom coins,playmat, and one Series 1 (Blue) Extended Sheet. The guidebookUnderstand How to Play Pokémon Cards Now: Newest Edition is also included, which features illustrations by TCG artistsKagemaru Himeno andKouichi Ooyama, andPromotional cardsDiglett andDugtrio as inserts.
