Hello Pokémon Players!
The latest expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, XY Evolutions will be released on the 2nd November 2016. As per usual for new TCG expansions, a number of distributors and retailers will be holding pre-release events in October. So whether you’re a TCG veteran, or a new player looking to jump in, pre-releases are an excellent opportunity to check out a new expansion. A list of all events in Australia can be found below.
Quick Information on Pre-Release Events:
- Pre-Releases are Limited-format tournaments – players are only allowed to use cards they receive at the start of the event.
- Players receive a 22-card Evolution Pack and 4 Booster Packs (each Booster containing 10 cards from the new expansion). There are multiple versions of Evolution Packs at Pre-Release events, with each pack focusing on a different type/evolution line.
- Each Player will also receive one of 4 promo cards unique to Evolutions Pre-Release events.
- Each Player will construct a 40-card deck from their Evolution & Booster Packs. Energy Cards will be supplied by the event co-ordinator. You cannot change your deck once the tournament starts.
- Due to the reduced deck-size, Players will only use 4 Prize Cards during matches.
- If you have a Player ID be sure to bring it! If you’re a first time player and don’t have a Player ID don’t worry, one will be provided to you at the event.
- Nearly all Pre-Release Events have an entry fee – be sure to check the event page for the exact cost.
- Finally, general event rules for TCG can be found here (General Rules) and here (TCG Rules).
