For parents
Buying for a child?
This set is out of print. It was released in 2003 to 2007, so there is no Parabox listing and sealed product only turns up secondhand.
Theme decks: Ruby and Sapphire, built around Blaziken and Swampert. Each is a ready-to-play 60-card deck, a good way into the set for a player.
If you buy sealed, check the wrapper is intact and crimped as it left the factory. Resealed packs and boxes exist, so buy from sellers who can say where the product has been.
Pull rates are unpublished, so no pack is guaranteed to hold a card from the chase list. For a particular card, buy the single.
