Pokemon TCG Pitch Black Prerelease

Trainers, join us for the Pitch Black Pokémon TCG Prerelease for your chance to battle and experience the latest expansion before its official release date. This event is perfect for everyone; beginners, veterans, casual or competitive, as we discover the new set together.

TIMES:

• 11am Saturday 4th July 2026
• 11am Saturday 11th July 2026

ENTRY: $50
FORMAT: Limited - Sealed (Pitch Black Build & Battle Box) & Paired 3-round tournament
PRIZES: Participation Foil Promo, 3x Pitch Black Boosters & additional prizes announced on the day!

In the Prerelease format, players compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. Prerelease is perfect for introducing new Trainers to the exciting world of the Pokémon TCG with quick, fun games, and it gives seasoned Trainers a window into everything Mega Evolution—Pitch Black has to offer. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.

Each Build & Battle Box includes four Mega Evolution—Pitch Black booster packs and a 40-card, ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior expansions, as well as one of four unique foil promo cards. Depending on which promo card you get, you could be playing with the always-electric Miraidon, carefree Slowbro, sneaky Dhelmise, or bulwark Bastiodon.

Players are expected to understand the basic rules and etiquette of Pokémon TCG and can play unassisted.
