Champion's League 2017 merchandise
The Champion's League was previously an invite-only tournament that pitted Japan's top performing players of a season against each other, with the last event held in the summer of 2007. 2017 saw the return of the Champion's League, albeit in a format more reminiscent of Battle Road tournaments and the recent Mega Battle events, consisting of regional meetings open to all participants much like Regional Championships outside Japan. These meetings were held throughout 2017, culminating in the Japan National Championships in which the top players earned an invitation to play at the World Championships.
All meetings included pop-up stores offering the latest products, some with exclusive items. Players could earn points by participating in various events held at each meeting and redeem them for prizes. Unlike similar events however, these prizes differed between regional meetings. The first Champion's League meetings of the season were in Osaka, held at MyDome Osaka on February 18 and 19, 2017, and in Miyagi, held at Sunfesta, Sendai on April 1 and 2, 2017. All participants were given a Togedemaru promotional card featuring the Champion's League 2017 logo. Events in which players could earn Play Points included the main Champion's League 2017 tournament, the One Day Battle (held only on the first day), the Sun & Moon Welcome Battle, and the Pulverizing Pancake Battle 2 (both held only on the second day). Players could redeem 4 Play Points for a Crabrawler promotional card, 6 Play Points for a Choice Band promotional card, and 8 Play Points for a Oranguru promotional card. Players participating in the Sun & Moon Welcome Battle could earn prizes by winning battles: 1 win awarded a Proof of Victory or Original Clear File; 2 wins awarded regular prints of Professor Kukui, Nest Ball, and Big Malasada; and 3 wins awarded an Original Deck Case and Half Playmat featuring Solgaleo and Lunala. Players participating in the Pulverizing Pancake Battle 2 could earn a promotional Rare Candy for every win.
The next set of Champion's League meetings were held in tandem with the 2017 Pokémon Card Festa, starting with the Aichi event at the Nagoya Trade & Industry Center, Nagoya on May 5, 2017, followed by the Chiba event at Makuhari Messe on May 20 and 21, 2017, and finally another Osaka event at Intex Osaka on May 28, 2017. Available to purchase at each of these venues were a set of exclusive Pokémon Card Festa 2017 Sleeves (Japanese: デッキシールド ポケモンカードフェスタ2017 Deck Shield: Pokémon Card Festa 2017). Each participant was given a Pikachu promotional card featuring the Pokémon Card Festa 2017 logo. Eligible Play Point events included the main Champion's League 2017 tournament, the One Day Battle, the Pokémon Biathlon, the Sylveon Girls Battle (present only at the Osaka venue and on the second day at the Chiba venue), the Shiftry Masters Battle (present only at the Aichi venue and on the first day at the Chiba venue), and the 3 on 3 Battle. Players could redeem 4 Play Points for a Rowlet, Litten, or Popplio promotional card at random. Eight Play Points would earn players a Tsareena-GX promotional card. Players competing in each of the main Champion's League 2017 tournaments could earn either a Lunala or Solgaleo promotional card by performing well.
The Okayama meeting, held at the Cooperative Okayama Prefecture Wholesale Center, was the next to be hosted on May 14, 2017. Another Pikachu promotional card was distributed upon entry here, featuring the same artwork as the one given to attendees of the 2017 Pokémon Card Festa, but with a different collection number and logo. The Pokémon Card Festa 2017 Sleeves were once again available to purchase at this venue, but no Play Point events were hosted. Lunala or Solgaleo could once again be earned by players performing well at this meeting.
A new trophy card was made for the 2017 Champion's League season: Victory Decoration, coming in gold, silver, and bronze varieties. The gold and silver variant were given to those who finished first and second respectively in each available league category at each meeting. The bronze variant was given to those who placed third and fourth. Each print features a foil stamp detailing where the card was awarded, making each regional variant unique.
A final Champion's League meeting was held at the Sunshine City Convention Center in East Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo on June 24, 2017. This event offered players a last chance to earn enough Championship Points to gain entry into the National Championships held the next day at the same venue. A Pikachu promotional card was given to attendees of this event, though no Play Point events were hosted, and no Victory Decoration trophy cards were awarded to the top finishers. The 3 on 3 Battle and League Match Battle side events ran concurrently for those not competing in the main tournament, with a promotional Hala card given to participants of the 3 on 3 Battle. Teams that won at least 2 battles were also given a Choice Band promotional card.
