Shadows deepen and nightmares become reality in our Mega Evolution—Pitch Black Prerelease tournaments! Entry for each tournament is $25, which includes the Build & Battle Box you will use for the tournament. We will be holding six Prerelease tournaments:

  • Sunday, July 5th at 2pm
  • Monday, July 6th at 7pm
  • Thursday, July 9th at 7pm
  • Sunday, July 12th at 11am
  • Sunday, July 12th at 2pm

You’ll have 30 minutes to open your Build & Battle Box and build a 40-card deck (additional basic Energy cards will be provided if needed). After all decks are built, we will have a short 3-round tournament (Swiss, best of 1), during which you can receive more booster packs!
