What is a Pokémon Prerelease Event?

A Pokémon Prerelease event lets you experience cards from the new Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together expansion before the official release.

Here’s how it works:

🎁 Build & Battle Box: Each player receives a Build & Battle Box, containing:

• A 40-card pre-built deck (with 1 of 4 promo cards).
• 4 booster packs from the new expansion.
• A deck-building tip sheet.

🔨 Deck Building: You’ll have 20–30 minutes to build a 40-card deck using the cards from your Build & Battle Box and Basic Energy provided.

⚔ Swiss Format Matches: Compete in single-game matches using the Swiss format, where you’re paired with players of similar win/loss records after each round.
