Pokemon TCG Gym Leader Challenge Tournament

$10 entry fee

Format: Gym Leader Challenge

This is a 3-round (best of 1) casual event. Players earn two boster packs per win and one per draw. Games will count toward league points.

Gym Leader Challenge Rules

-The Expanded Format card pool (Black & White onwards) is legal.

-Your deck can only contain one type (color) of Pokémon (dual-type Pokémon are allowed in either deck).

-Only one of each card with the same name* is allowed in a deck, except for Basic Energy.

-Banned Cards:

• All ACE SPEC cards
• All Pokémon with a Rule Box** (e.g. Pokémon EX, GX, V, BREAK, Radiant Pokémon, Prism Stars)
• Chip-Chip Ice Axe (SM–Unbroken Bonds 165/214)
• Forest of Giant Plants (XY–Ancient Origins, 74/98)
• Hiker (SM–Celestial Storm 133/168, Hidden Fates SV85/SV94)
• Kyogre (Shining Fates 021/072)
• Lysandre’s Trump Card (XY–Phantom Forces, 99/119, 118/119)
• Oranguru (SM–Ultra Prism, 114/156)

*Similar to Expanded Format rules, you can either play Lysandre OR Boss's Orders in your deck, not both. The same goes for Professor Juniper, Professor Sycamore, and Professor's Research; you can only play one of the three.

**Ancient Traits are NOT considered Rule Boxes so those Pokémon are legal for Gym Leader Challenge.
