Pokémon: Destined Rivals Prerelease

Destined Rivals Prerelease

Pokémon Trainers, be on high alert! The nefarious Team Rocket is setting its latest plan into motion, and heroic Trainers are racing to stop it. Join forces with the likes of Cynthia and Garchomp ex, Ethan and Ho-Oh ex, or Arven and Mabosstiff ex… Or reconsider your loyalties and fight alongside Team Rocket’s Pokémon like Mewtwo ex—under the command of Giovanni! Choose a side, assemble your allies, and battle boldly in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals expansion!

Format: 

Prereleases are a fun way to be able to play with a new set that hasn’t been released yet. The tournament will be played using the packs in your prerelease kit. Each player will have about 30 minutes to construct a 40-card deck with the contents of their kit and energy provided by the shop. No trading is to be done until the event is over. We will use single-game matches for 3 rounds, using Age-Modified Swiss Pairings. Each round is 20 minutes long. Players are expected to be on time and to play the entire event. Players must already know how to play properly, this is not a learn-to-play event.

Each Build & Battle prerelease kit includes:

• Four Pokémon TCG Destined Rivals booster packs.
• One of four possible new Promo cards with the Destined Rivals logo stamped on them.
• A selection of cards to help competitive players build a deck

Event Policies:

Players must have a Pokémon Player ID to participate. If you do not already have a Player ID, please arrive early to register your Pokémon Trainer Club account and receive a Player ID. If you registered for a Player ID at our After-School Club or the Pokémon Club at the Rockbridge Regional Library in Lexington, it is likely we have your Pokémon ID on file.

Prize Support: Each participant will receive 3 Prize Packs for Playing in all 3 Rounds as well as 2 booster packs during play.
