About the Series
The Kalos Starter Set is a 39-card set released with the XY-era starter product. It has its own numbering and is not part of the XY Black Star Promos.
It carries the three Kalos starter lines through to their final stages — Chesnaught, Delphox and Greninja — alongside six Trainer cards.
Numbering & Identification
Cards are numbered 1/39 to 39/39, separately from both the XY expansions and the XY Black Star Promos.
Every Black Star Promo carries a black star where an expansion symbol would normally sit. That mark is what gives the series its name.
How to identify one: the cards read N/39 and carry the Kalos Starter Set mark rather than a black star.
