    there is one way out

    I know pulling packs is fun, but if you're just looking to get some cards to get him started, look at a website like Coolstuffinc, and buy a bunch of singles. You can get a bunch of full-art cards for like $1 a piece, which is all my kids want. I can buy a pack for $5 and get nothing they want, or I can spend $5 and get them 5 cards they actually want.

    This has just been in the last couple weeks he has shown interest so I think he just wants to have some cards to show/play with his friends. I don't think he knows or cares about different types of cards yet. But then again if we buy him cards and they look different than his friends, maybe he'll say something about how they're different lol

    He of course already "likes" pikachu, charizard (he's a big dragon/dinosaur kid as is), and my wife told him about Mewtwo lol. But this is just 5 and 6 year olds talking about whatever with them and having cards so I don't really know how "into it" any of them are in depth. We did let him start watching the original show though so he's learning about some pokemon through that.

    I have tons of bulk at the house, if you're willing to pay shipping I'll send you a bunch of cards.

    @David87 maybe get him one of those battle academy sets that teaches you how to play, literally no one buys those so should be easy to find. Gives you a bunch of cards for a deck and you can play together.

    Is this what you're talking about? If so that's a great idea--I truly am seemingly one of the few 30-somethings that never played it or bought the cards, so learning how to play would be a good idea for me too so I Can help him out if he really gets into it lol

    Thank you!

    Yeah, that's it. A great way to start if you want to actual battle, has everything you need in 3 different decks (60 cards each). Make sure you keep them seperate as they're boxed together for a reason (fire deck, electric deck, and dark deck). Comes with a game mat, coin, and all the damage counters you need.

    Let me know if you still want me to ship you some others or if you'd rather start with that.

    I'll definitely take any others you're willing to send! Worst case scenario is he gets sick of it and we have another toy laying around the house, but these friends he's been talking about it with will be in his class next year as well, so it could stick if they're all still doing it next year too

    I don’t have Lunala unfortunately. But I’m still missing Alolan Raichu ex and Dhelmise ex if anyone has an extra of those they could trade!

    I knew of the Beasts from Pokemon Go. But Guzzlord is a wild name
