Three starter Pokémon, three ready-built ex decks, one box. The Special Deck Set ex Venusaur & Charizard & Blastoise skips the pack-opening randomness entirely and hands you three complete 60-card decks instead — each one built around a Kanto starter’s ex card (the official page calls the Blastoise ex a new illustration).
This guide covers what the official product page says is actually inside the box, what the three ex cards are, and where the set and comparable graded Venusaur and Charizard prints are currently listed.
The official product page lists this as a ¥5,500 (tax included) box released November 10, 2023, containing three separate 60-card decks — one each for Venusaur ex, Charizard ex and Blastoise ex — plus coins, damage counters, a playmat, guides and storage. It’s currently listed at ¥38,400 (~$249).

What the Special Deck Set ex Is
The official product page, 「スペシャルデッキセットex フシギバナ・リザードン・カメックス」, lists an official retail price of ¥5,500 (tax included) and a release date of November 10, 2023. It’s a 構築デッキ (constructed-deck) product — not a booster box — built around three ready-to-play decks rather than randomised packs.
The page’s own summary reads: 「3種類のデッキに加え、ポケモンコイン、ダメカン、マーカー、プレイマット、はじめてガイド、遊びかた説明書、プレイヤーズガイド、ダメカンケース、カードボックスが入っていて、そのまま対戦することができる！」 — three types of decks plus a Pokémon coin, damage counters, a marker, a playmat, a beginner’s guide, a how-to-play manual, player’s guides, a damage counter case and a card box, ready to play straight out of the box.
What’s Inside the Box
The official 内容物 (contents) line lists: 「「フシギバナex」デッキ（カード60枚）……1個 / 「リザードンex」デッキ（カード60枚）……1個 / 「カメックスex」デッキ（カード60枚）……1個 ※構築デッキの性質上、同じカードが複数入っています。/ ポケモンコイン……3枚 / ダメカン／マーカー……2シート / プレイマット……1枚 / はじめてガイド……1枚 / 遊びかた説明書……1冊 / プレイヤーズガイド……3枚 / ダメカンケース……1個 / カードボックス……1個」
In English: one 60-card “Venusaur ex” deck, one 60-card “Charizard ex” deck and one 60-card “Blastoise ex” deck (note: because these are constructed decks, the same card appears multiple times inside each one), three Pokémon coins, two damage-counter/marker sheets, one playmat, one beginner’s guide, one how-to-play manual, three player’s guides, one damage-counter case and one card box.
The page adds that every deck shares a common trainer core: 「対戦でよく使われるトレーナーズがすべてのデッキに収録！」 — Trainer cards commonly used in competitive play are included in every deck.
The Three ex Decks
Each of the three decks is built around one Kanto starter’s ex card, and the official page states the Blastoise ex specifically arrives in fresh artwork: 「新たなイラストにて登場！」 — appearing in a new illustration. The three decks are named on the page as the Venusaur ex deck, the Charizard ex deck and the Blastoise ex deck, each a self-contained 60-card build rather than a shared pool.
Comparable Graded Venusaur and Charizard Prints
No PSA10 copy of the deck’s own Venusaur, Charizard or Blastoise ex is listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through Quick Order. For comparison, here are two graded prints of the same two Pokémon from different Japanese sets that are currently listed on our site — shown only as reference points, not as the Special Deck Set ex versions.
A PSA10 M Venusaur EX SR, 1st Edition, CP6 089/087, is currently listed at ¥93,600 (~$608).
A PSA10 Charizard ex 134/108 SAR from Ruler of the Black Flame is currently listed at ¥71,735 (~$466). Neither of these two prints is the Special Deck Set ex’s own Charizard or Venusaur artwork — they’re separate cards from separate sets, included here only to show what graded prints of these two Pokémon currently look like on our site.
Dated Asking Price
The lowest asking price on SNKRDUNK for the sealed Special Deck Set ex box was ¥32,000 as of September 18, 2026. That’s a live seller listing price, not a sale price, and no earlier dated figure for this listing appears in this update. Against the ¥5,500 official retail price, that asking price sits well above MSRP.
Individual singles from this same set (set code SVG) also carry dated asks: the lowest asking price on SNKRDUNK on September 18, 2026 for a Bulbasaur full-art single, SVG 050/049, was ¥10,000, and for a Squirtle full-art single from the same set it was ¥11,800.

The Special Deck Set ex isn’t the only Japanese Pokémon product built around fixed contents rather than randomised packs. Our Pokemon Center Gym Sets guide covers another bundle-style product sold through Pokémon Center channels, and our Precious Collector Box buying guide covers another Japanese special box we list sealed.
