About the Pokémon Prerelease Event and Format

Prerelease participants will receive a Chaos Rising Build & Battle Box, giving fans a chance to have a Prerelease battle and experience the latest expansion before its official release date. 

The Prerelease format allows players to compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. This format is perfect for introducing new players to the exciting world of the Pokémon TCG with quick, fun games, and it also gives seasoned players a window into all that Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising has to offer. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are also a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.

Each Build & Battle Box includes four Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising booster packs and a 40-card ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior sets, as well as one of four unique foil promo cards. Depending on which promo card you get, you could be playing with the infernally slashing Ceruledge, the limit-breaking Zacian, the sandy flapping Flygon, and the tricky Toxtricity.

Pokémon Player ID required. Directions to create your Player ID here: https://play.pokemon.com/en-us/resources/documents/player-id-generation-article/ or our staff can help you in store at check-in time.
