Pokémon | Pitch Black Monday Prerelease

This is your exclusive opportunity to crack packs, build a deck, and play with the newest Pokémon TCG expansion before its official release. With the meta constantly evolving, now is the perfect time to test out powerful new threats like Mega Darkrai ex and a cameo from popular trainer Misty in a fun, casual environment.

Build, Battle, and Embrace the Dark

Every participant receives a specialized Build and Battle Box. Inside, you will find a 40-card, ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior sets, plus four Pitch Black booster packs to upgrade your build. You will also score one of four unique foil promo cards!

You will use these contents along with basic Energy provided by the shop to construct a 40-card deck. From there, trainers will clash in a friendly, best-of-one, three-round tournament.

Prerelease Prize Packs

We want everyone to experience the thrill of the new set, regardless of their tournament record. If you play all three rounds of the event, you will receive three additional Pitch Black booster packs as a prize!

To keep the bracket moving and ensure you get your prize packs, all players must have a Pokémon Trainer Club account with a Player ID attached, and you must be opted into the Play! Pokémon program.
