Release date, card count, chase cards, value and how it compares with the PCG era.
Master Kit (Bulbasaur) is a compact Japanese Pokémon TCG deck product from the PCG era, released on July 15, 2005. Its card list stops at 9 catalog printings, which sets it apart from a full booster expansion and places it nearer to a ready-made kit built around a single starter Pokémon. What defines it is the pairing at the top of its value ranking: Ivysaur in first place and Dodrio in second, a Grass-line evolution beside a Colorless bird. The kit's identity rests on those two cards rather than on a long run of chase rarities.
Master Kit (Bulbasaur) was released July 15, 2005.
Master Kit (Bulbasaur) has 9 cards.
Master Kit (Bulbasaur) is part of the PCG era.
Ivysaur, at $4.00, as of November 13, 2026.
With only 9 printings, Master Kit (Bulbasaur) has no deep rarity ladder to climb, and no secret cards sit above a printed count. Its chase cards are the two that lead the value ranking: Ivysaur in first place and Dodrio in second. Everything else in the kit is the working body of a starter deck, so the most valuable cards here form a short group that can be named in a breath, and the cost of the whole release is carried by those two printings.
As of October 2026, Master Kit (Bulbasaur) is best placed by its kind and neighbours, since its 9 printings sit far below the size of a full PCG-era expansion, which runs to dozens of cards across a broad rarity spread. It arrived on July 15, 2005, after Mirage's Mew Constructed Starter Deck, whose headline card is Mew, and before Holon Research Tower Fire Quarter Deck on September 30, 2005, which is led by Flareon ex. Both neighbours are deck products too, so the kit belongs to a run of preconstructed releases rather than competing with booster sets for chase attention.

Completing Master Kit (Bulbasaur) means finding all 9 catalog printings, of which 2 are priced. That makes the price of a full run almost entirely a matter of Ivysaur and Dodrio, while the rest of the kit is the plain structure of a starter deck. The checklist is short and the hunt is narrow, and for a Japanese deck product from 2005 the real task is locating those two cards in good condition rather than assembling a long list.
