2025 Tournaments
TCG Pocket Double Deck Tournament

TCG Pocket Double Deck Tournament

Important: Players will need an active Pokémon TCG Pocket account and device of their own to access the functions of the game.
Each player will need two decks to play with. A written list of the cards in each deck will need to be provided.
If a Pokémon is an EX it must be labeled as such. Each deck must contain different Pokémon from the other (i.e. if one deck has a Mew EX, the other cannot also contain a Mew EX) – This rule does not apply to trainer and supporter cards.
Players will offer their written deck lists to their opponent and then each player will select one of their two decks to play.
Players need three prize points to win the game.
After a player has won with a deck, the winner cannot use that deck again.
The player who lost the previous round will have the option of selecting either deck to play in the next round.
If a draw occurs where each player has won one match after playing both decks, the players will choose one of their opponents decks to play in the final round.
This will be a best 2 out of 3 bracket match.
Good luck trainers!

Please have your Pokémon above level 50
Terastallized Pokémon do not need to be announced ahead of time, but be aware that you only get one per round so plan accordingly Trainers!
There are no restrictions for Terastallized Pokémon
A Trainers team cannot be changed IN ANY way after being signed up for this event. This is done to ensure honesty and integrity for all competitors. If you are found to have changed your team in any way, ( Items, TM’s, Evolving, etc), you will forfeit the round. If continued, you will be disqualified from the tournament event. These decisions will be reviewed by Tournament staff by comparing your starting team sheets, to ensure the claims are legitimate and if genuine claims are inaccurate, the issue will be corrected, the set restarted, and more time issued to complete the match.

Match Format Rules:
This will be a Double Battle Format using the current Regulation I Rule set, and will be a bracket system using best of three matches. Trainers will enter with six Pokémon , but will only battle with four as per the rules. Trainers will select four Pokémon each round out of the six in their team.
The Team view area will allow you to see your opponents Pokémon lineup and items. Use this to your advantage Trainers!
This format allows two Restricted Pokémon to use, so choose wisely!

Special Circumstances in Battle:
If a Trainers move would result in both final Pokémon fainting, or both Pokémon would both receive damage resulting in a faint on both sides in a turn, it is the Pokémon who faints LAST who will win that round.
Example: The two final Pokémon are on the field and one of them uses Explosion. Though the game may say Draw, the Pokémon who has used Explosion faints first before the move hits its target.
Any match that results in a tie, please notify a Staff member so that they may make a decision on the match. Players are strongly encouraged to take Screenshots of end screens after every match to solve any disputes or issues quicker.
If a Player is late to their match or refuses to play, they will forfeit the round, and in the latter case will be disqualified.
If the Player does need to leave for reasons such as food, medicinal, bathroom or emergency needs please notify a Staff member to resolve the issue. This gives Staff time to tell the other player of the issue and reduce stress.
When the Player returns, they will be asked by staff if they wish to continue. If the Player accepts, time will be added to the round accordingly to fit the need.
While we understand situations pop up, please be considerate of your fellow Trainers and event Staff and hurry back!
Staff will need to keep that matches rolling throughout the day so please communicate any issues that will require you to leave and postpone matches. We don’t want to leave any Trainer high and dry for a situation out of their hands!
