V Battle Deck—Zeraora vs. Deoxys

Two Strong Pokémon V Stand Ready!

Get ready for a major Pokémon battle with a ready-to-play double deck bundle—with extra Trainer cards! This set includes a deck for you and one for a friend. You can choose either Zeraora V or Deoxys V to lead your team in a heads-up battle against another Trainer. Then, switch up the decks and see what things look like from the other side—can you win with both powerful Pokémon V?

Zeraora V Battle Deck

A Lightning Storm Stirs—with Zeraora V!

Lightning crashes into your opponent's Pokémon with an overwhelming attack from Zeraora V! Along with Luxray and Boltund, this electrifying Mythical Pokémon hits for huge damage so you can keep landing Knock Outs. Meanwhile, Heliolisk targets your opponent's Bench, and Thundurus lets you quickly power up your team with help from Lady!

Deoxys V Battle Deck

A Meteor Shower of Psychic Power—with Deoxys V!

A mysterious force rockets down from space…the Mythical Pokémon Deoxys V is on the attack! As Drifblim and Claydol keep close watch over your opponent's Bench, Gardevoir and Cresselia use their Psychic-type powers to keep your Pokémon awash in Energy. And when you need a change of pace, Switch Cart carries your Active Pokémon away to the Bench for a rest!

Information

Mythical Pokémon Zeraora and Deoxys were the focus of several products released on October 14, 2022 inspired by the Japanese VSTAR & VMAX High-Class Decks available in July the same year. The Zeraora V Battle Deck featured the Thunderclap Pokémon as a Pokémon V and an assortment of other Lightning-types, while the Deoxys V Battle Deck featured a Pokémon V card depicting the DNA Pokémon plus numerous supporting Psychic-types. Both decks included a selection of Trainer cards sourced from several Sword & Shield Series expansions and quantities of basic Energy cards. The V Battle Decks could be purchased individually or as a pair in the V Battle Deck—Zeraora vs. Deoxys. Two contemporaneous products were available from the same day: the Zeraora VMAX & VSTAR Battle Box and the Deoxys VMAX & VSTAR Battle Box, which included Upgrade Guides for integrating the power cards they contained into the decks.

Each 60-card V Battle Deck was packaged with a deck box, damage counters, a single-player playmat, a rules booklet, a Quick Guide, three reference cards, a Jumbo-sized coin, and a code card for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Live. The V Battle Deck—Zeraora vs. Deoxys kit was packaged with the same accessories in addition to a deck upgrade guide and a sealed pack that contained eight Trainer cards and another Pokémon TCG Live code card.

The Zeraora V Battle Deck contained two exclusive Non Holofoil prints of Sword & Shield Boltund plus re-releases of Non Holofoil Rebel Clash Luxray (×2) from the Rebel Clash Build & Battle Box and Non Holofoil Chilling Reign Thundurus (×1) from the Rayquaza V Battle Deck and V Battle Deck—Rayquaza vs. Noivern. The Deoxys V Battle Deck contained re-releases of Non Holofoil Chilling Reign Gardevoir (×2) from the Chilling Reign Build & Battle Box and Non Holofoil Chilling Reign Cresselia (×1) from the Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX League Battle Deck. The combined kit included re-releases of Non Holofoil Boss's Orders (×2) from the Trainer's Toolkit 2022.
