Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 1

Similar to many Pokémon League locations in regions overseen by The Pokémon Company International, Pokémon Card Gyms are registered stores in Japan that host casual TCG events on a regular basis. Official paraphernalia was sent to these stores by The Pokémon Company, which often comprised advetisments, gameplay materials, and Promo Card Packs. These packs could be distributed amongst participants in whichever way Pokémon Card Gym organizers saw fit, though generally one pack was given to everyone competing in a Gym Battle event or a New Set Battle event. Additional packs were typically given to the top finishers in these events: three for those placing first, two for those placing second, and one for those placing third. Three packs were also given to winners of periodic rock paper scissors competitions.

The first Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Packs of the Scarlet & Violet Era were distributed at events held in conjunction with the release of the Scarlet ex and Violet ex expansions on January 20, 2023. Packs were enclosed with one random card from a pool of seven SV-P Promotional cards, each of which feature the Pokémon Card Gym logo.

Champion's League 2023 merchandise

Champion's League tournaments are the Japanese equivalent of Regional Championships and are typically held four or five times during a season. The 2022-2023 season began in the latter part of the Sword & Shield Era; the first Champion's League meeting of the Scarlet & Violet Era was therefore the third of the overall season. It was hosted at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, Tokoname over two days on February 25 and 26, 2023.[3] People wishing to take part in the Aichi event were required to register their interest between January 27 and February 3, 2023 and places were allocated by lottery on February 10.[4] The next event was the 2023 Miyagi Champion's League, which was held at the Miyagi Industrial Exchange Center (also known as Dream Messe Miyagi), Sendai on April 1 and 2, 2023.[5] People wishing to participate in the Miyagi event were required to register their interest between March 3 and 10, 2023 and places were allocated by lottery on March 17.[6] COVID-19 protocols limited attendance at each venue to players, staff, and the parents/guardians of younger players.

Every competitor at each event was given a pair of promotional cards for entering: a Holofoil Charcadet and one of eight basic Energy cards selected at random. All of these cards feature a Championship Series 2023 stamp. A promotional Hisuian Typhlosion V card was also given to players that won a predefined number of matches in a tournament. For those competing in the Junior League, this target was four wins, whereas those competing in the Senior and Master Leagues required five wins.[7] The Aichi meeting also hosted an Open League, which had no age restriction and was played using the Extra Regulation format. The target for the Open League was also five wins.[8]

The only side event in operation at each venue was the 4-League Battle, which were 4-player round robin mini tournaments. These were open to Master League competitors only on a tournament's first day, while those held on the second day were open to other League competitors, as well as Master League competitors who had advanced from the qualifying round. All participants were given one random Energy participant promo.[9][10]

The Master League tournaments at each venue were livestreamed on video platforms Niconico and YouTube, during which prizes could be won through Twitter campaigns. People wishing to enter either competition were required to follow the Twitter accounts of the official Pokémon Card Channel, its presenters raichumkw, nanapuru, Kucheat take, and yopi foot, and Tweet messages of support. Those doing so during the broadcast of the Aichi Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023愛知, Pokéca CL2023 Aichi were entered into prize lotteries, as were those who Tweeted with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023宮城, Pokéca CL2023 Miyagi during the broadcast of the Miyagi Master League tournament. Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Charcadet participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.[11][12]

The top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Energy Loto. The top 32 players in all leagues were also given a set of card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield) featuring a stylized Champion's League emblem.[13] New Victory Symbol trophy cards were awarded to the top finishers in each league category at each venue; gold variants were given to those finishing first, silver ones were given to the runners-up, and bronze variants were given to the losing semi-finalists.
