Pokémon Fantasy Team was a fantasy sport draft contest for U.S. residents built around the 2023 World Championships. Users with a Pokémon Trainer Club account could create teams from August 1 to 10 that were scored based on the TCG and VGC Masters Division results. The top 100 finishers for each division received a booster box of Obsidian Flames and an Umbreon Sitting Cuties plush, with first place also receiving a jumbo Spheal Poké Plush. The first 10,000 registrations also got a code for a Stretchy Form Tatsugiri.
Entrants could build a team of six from specific groups of then-legal cards/Pokémon. Registering a team also required making a guess to a tiebreaker question.
- TCG teams required
- a Pokémon V
- a Pokémon VMAX
- a Pokémon VSTAR
- a Radiant Pokémon
- a Treasure of Ruin
- a Pokémon not in any of the previous groups
- a guess on the total number of cards in both discard piles at the end of the final match
- VGC teams required
- a Treasure of Ruin
- a Paradox Pokémon
- a Generation IX Pokémon not in the previous groups
- two Pokémon that became legal in Regulation Set D
- a Pokémon not in any previous group
- a guess on the HP of the Pokémon delivering the final Knock Out
Scoring was determined by each team member's highest-placing appearance in Masters Division Top 8 teams. In case of ties, the entrant whose guess to the tiebreaker was closest to correct was placed higher. Prizes could only be won from one division; an entrant's higher placement nullified their other placement.[1]
