The game follows the rules of the original game rather than using more recent rules and mechanics. Players use decks of 60 cards made up of Pokémon cards, Trainer cards, and Energy cards. The goal of the game is to defeat your opponent’s Pokémon and win prize cards.
The cards included in the set will feature reprints of cards from the original set. They will have unique numbering but will not be legal for tournament play.
