Starting out on your Pokemon card journey can be quite an expensive endeavour. Blister or booster packs can be relatively affordable, but the more you get, the more the price adds up over time. Adding bundles or Trainer Boxes into the mix just makes everything even pricier, but thankfully, this week's Black Friday sales can help kick-start your collection.

There is a Snorlax-sized amount of Black Friday Pokemon card deals in the wild today. If you're just getting started, though, we recommend grabbing smaller blister packs or battle decks. These will help you build up a collection for one of the best card games without a high up-front cost, but there are a few offers on larger options in case you want to go all in.
