Pokémon: Paradox Rift Prerelease

Paradox Rift Prerelease

Dive into the clouds and explore a land that appears to be unbound by time! With ferocious attacks, Ancient Pokémon like Roaring Moon ex and Sandy Shocks ex appear alongside artificial Future Pokémon like Iron Valiant ex and Iron Hands ex. Meanwhile, Garchomp ex, Mewtwo ex, and others Terastallize to gain new types, as Armarouge ex, Gholdengo ex, and more Pokémon ex join the fray. Adventure awaits as timelines collide in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift 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 Obsidian Flames booster packs.
• One of four possible new Promo cards with the Obsidian Flames logo stamped on them.
• A selection of cards to help competitive players build a deck

Event Policies: We only have kits for 20 players, so please register in advance below!

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 2 Prize Packs for Playing in all 3 Rounds. The remaining Prize Packs will be pooled together and awarded based on ranking.
