Would this work for kids first deck? Or need an official starter deck?

Never played before, kids interested though.

if your kid likes Gyarados then get this to get them excited about the cards. The price per pack is good so they will get some fun opening packs to see what they get.

If they are interested in learning how to play the game, definitely gran the Battle Academy from somewhere. Target [target.com], GameStop [gamestop.com] and PokemonCenter [pokemoncenter.com]all have them and this is a great way to get three complete decks with rules and damage counters. Target has it for $15 currently and it won't go much lower than that.

Other than that, purchasing ETBs (Elite Trainer Boxes [pokemoncenter.com]) are usually good buys and if you can grab some on sale they are typically worth it!

If there are specific cards they are interested then tcgplayer.com [tcgplayer.com] is a great place to shop for specific one off cards; just pay attention to the sellers and their shipping fees.

The newest set of cards is Paldean Fates, but Temporal Forces is the next set coming out March 17 for pre-release items. Paldean Fates has shiny pokemon cards which is a gimmick, but kids seem to really like getting them. Enjoy Pokemon tcg!

This is solid advice. The Battle Academy is great for people just getting into playing Pokemon TCG. And, for those who aren't into the more collector aspects of the game and don't want to build their own deck, the ETBs are also on sale pretty frequently and a great buy.

Thirding this. I carry the battle academy to pokemon nights just for newbies that walk through the door. Having a step by step guide show them how to play and the whole thing being infinitely replayable is enough to make the wheels in their brain turn and make them come back the next week. I've seen others try to help them build a deck and that's awesome, but it's overwhelming for the littles. Don't rush it.

Also, you can grab a premade deck for 10-15 and add that gyrados to it. Obviously I recommend a blue deck for that.

I got 1 lost origin pack in mine. Was surprised because even the employee at GameStop said lost origin packs weren't in these.

To add to this, the battle league decks are a very good starting point for anyone trying to get into competitive play. These decks a slightly stripped down versions of current competitive decks, and players can see how the current "meta" feels. They also come with a ton of usable trainers and supporters as well as some of the better pokemon in some of them.
