Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the XY era.
Kalos Starter Set sits at the very start of the XY era as a deck product, released on November 8, 2013 under the set code KSS. It runs to 39 cards, all of them printed, and it shares its full contents with the Japanese XY Beginning Set. The headline cards are Snorlax, Miltank, Bidoof and Skitty, and Greninja, Furfrou and Chesnaught carry the Kalos starter theme. Furfrou is the one name printed more than once. The card list leans on Colorless, Fire, Grass and Water Pokémon.
Kalos Starter Set is a deck product, so its card list has no secret rares or alternate treatments above the printed 39. The most valuable cards are Snorlax, Miltank, Bidoof and Skitty, in that order, with Greninja ranking 5th. Snorlax is illustrated by Naoki Saito and Miltank by Akira Komayama. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards hold 76 percent of the set's total card value, so the remaining cards in the card list account for only a small share of what the set is worth.

Completing Kalos Starter Set means tracking down 39 printings, and all 39 are priced. Because the top five cards carry 76 percent of the value, the weight of a complete set rests on Snorlax, Miltank, Bidoof, Skitty and Greninja, while the other cards contribute little to the total. Sealed product for the set consists of 6 decks, so the preconstructed deck is the format the set was released in.
