With Standard format rotating soon, a reminder:
For in-person Play! Pokémon events, the Standard format rotation for 2026 competitive play will go into effect on April 10, 2026.
Cards with the “G” regulation mark will no longer be legal for play in the 2026 Standard format. Cards with “H,” “I,” and “J” regulation marks will be legal to use (as will any future regulation marks that may be released). A card’s legality status is not based on which expansion it’s from. Even if a card is from a recently released expansion, players will need to refer to the regulation mark on the bottom of the card to see whether that card is legal for play. New cards still must follow the appropriate waiting period to become tournament legal, which is typically two weeks after their release.
Bring your friends (and prepare to make new ones) and partake in fun Pokémon activities such as playing the Pokémon card game, coloring pages, and hanging out with other Pokémon Trainers! This event is an open play style of event, with prize packs going out to participants on their 1st and 3rd time visiting for the season while supplies last!
This event is free to participate in and welcomes players of all experience levels, so bring all your friends and family for an amazing day of Pokémon fun!

Every year on February 27, Pokémon fans around the world celebrate Pokémon Day to commemorate the release of the very first Pokémon video games in Japan. These games were Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, originally released on 27 February 1996! Now, Pokémon has grown into a worldwide phenomenon that brings joy to various parts of people’s lives.
