Pokemon Ex Deoxys Trading Card Booster Set

By [Nioniel]



When I was much younger, I was a huge fan of all things Pokemon. Back then, I collected the action figures, key chains and even the playing cards, some of which are quite collectable these days. When I bought the playing cards, I would sometimes buy them individually from friends or other collectors, but sometimes I would buy them in packs, such as the Pokemon Ex Deoxys Trading Card Booster Set.

For those who do not know what Pokemon are, they are mystical and magical animated creatures (literally, as in Anime) that are found in the wild, at least in the Pokemon-Verse. Pokemon may be captured and tamed as pets, or else they may be trained to fight other Pokemon. When Pokemon fight, or battle, they gain strength and power, which allows them to level up. When Pokemon level up high enough, they evolve. Many Pokemon have three stages of evolution, the first being the most basic, and the third being the most powerful.

In the Pokemon world, the Deoxys is a wild creature that has shape-shifting abilities, as well as a few other magical qualities. While this particular card set is not really one that people play the card game with anymore, the cards and images themselves are still really very collectable, and include such creatures as the Deoxys, the Rayquaza, the Latias, the Latios, the Breloom, the Manectric, and more! However, each Pokemon Ex Deoxys Trading Card Booster Set is unique in that they do not necessarily contain the same cards in every pack, therefore, some buyers will get great sets and others may not be so wonderful. It is always a risk, but often it is a fun one to see which creatures the buyer was able to snag!

While I don’t actually play the card game, I do collect the cards, though mostly for the imagery as the artwork is really pretty beautiful. I also consider it fun to go through new Booster Sets to see which Pokemon I got each time. I do not recommend the Pokemon Ex Deoxys Trading Card Booster Set for those who play the card game, as the cards from this set are not technically allowed in the game, but for collectors of the cards, this really is a perfect set!
