Basic Red (TCG)

Basic Red, formerly known as Firestarter, is a Theme Deck from the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era of the game. It predominantly focuses on -type Pokémon. It is no longer available to new players. Like other exclusive Theme Decks from this era, if players already unlocked it, it continues to be playable in all game modes.
