‘Black & White Trainer Kit’ in August

A new “Black & White Trainer Kit” will be released in stores on August 3rd for $12.99. Each kit will come with two 30-card decks featuring a holo Excadrill card and Zoroark card from the future Emerging Powers set, but with alternate artwork. Other goodies include a deck box featuring the two Pokemon, a Black & White booster pack, a Pokemon TCG Online code for activating the decks online, two guide booklets that show you how to use each deck and card, as well as a playmat, coin, and damage counters. Like previous Trainer Kits, the product is meant to teach new players how to play the TCG (by letting the player who gets the Zoroark deck learn how weaknesses work).
