Change on "McDonald's Collection" expansions' legality
Up to this point in time, all cards releases as part of a McDonald's campaign were included in special expansions called "McDonald's Collection", with their own rarity, numbering and legality. As to avoid unintentional reprints, starting this season all cards from said expansions are legal in the Standard format only if they're functionally identical to a card from either a regular expansion or a Black Star Promo that is currently legal in said format.[1]
Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic several scheduled tournaments were cancelled during 2020, notably the 2020 Europe International Championships and the 2020 North America International Championships.
On May 14, a worldwide event titled "Pokémon Players Cup" was announced[2], featuring along with other games the TCG's Standard Format through Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, being both the first time the TCG client has been used in an official tournament and the very last event of the format. This event was only held in the Masters Division and excluded Asia as the online client is not available for any country of the region.
