Deck Primer

Two 30 card decks that can be used to teach the basics of the game. 

Separate the fighting types and lightning types of pokemon and energy. Then divide the trainer cards evenly between the two decks except for Dendra and Clemont's Quick Wit. Put both Dendra cards in the fighting deck, then put both Clemont's Quick Wit cards in the lightning deck. 

Now you have two 30 card starter decks. Each player puts out 3 prize cards when playing in this abridged format.
