Pokénchi Presents Pokémon Card Elementary School Tournament "Ze!!" merchandise

The first competition to be held during the Sword & Shield Era was the Pokémon Card Elementary School Tournament "Ze!!", promoted by the variety show Meet Up at the Pokémon House?, colloquially known as Pokénchi. Host Abareru-kun was the face of the tournament, which was held at six ÆON Malls across Japan between December 1 and 15, 2019.^[7] The tournaments were Limited format using the recently released V Starter Sets and were restricted to children in Elementary School or below. Participants in any of the regional tournaments received an Original Can Badge (Japanese: オリジナル缶バッチ) featuring Abareru-kun and the primary type symbols of the five V Starter Sets. The qualifying rounds consisted of winner stays on, with the first 16 players to reach three consecutive wins, or three wins in total, advancing to the single-elimination finals. Players advancing to the regional finals received an Original Sticker (Japanese: オリジナルステッカー) featuring the hand-drawn tournament logo. The overall winners of each regional tournament won an Original T-shirt (Japanese: オリジナルTシャツ) bearing the "Ze!!" logo and location of the event, as well as the right to participate in the tournament final. The final was held at the Pokémon Card Station at Pokémon Center Tokyo Bay on January 12, 2020 and was a single-elimination tournament using the V Starter Sets. The overall winner earned a place at the 2020 World Championships, which was delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each regional tournament also held two side events after the main tournament. The V Starter Set Battle was much the same as the main tournament; competitors achieving three wins were awarded the same sticker. Participants of the Teaching side event were awarded the same can badge. Visitors could also purchase items at pop-up stores present at each venue. Those spending at least ¥1,500 on eligible TCG products were given their choice of event-exclusive Pre-assembled Deck Cases (Japanese: 組立式デッキケース), featuring either Zacian and Zamazenta or Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.^[8]

Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 1

Pokémon Card Gyms in Japan operate much like Pokémon Leagues outside Asia, in that they provide a regular opportunity for people to meet, trade, and battle. Approved Pokémon Card Gym locations are sent paraphernalia from The Pokémon Company to host meetings, including promotional card packs to distribute amongst participants in whichever way they see fit. One pack is typically given to every participant of Gym Battle events, standard tournaments open to all ages, and to every participant of New Set Battle events, age-specific tournaments that require players to use a quantity of the latest cards in their deck. More packs are usually given to the top finishers in tournaments: three for those placing first, two for those placing second, and one for those placing third. Additional packs may also be given out at other events hosted by the Pokémon Card Gym location.

The first Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack to be distributed during the Sword & Shield Era contained one out of a possible seven S-P Promotional cards, one of which was an exclusive Pokémon V. Each promotional card bears the Pokémon Card Gym logo. These packs were first given out upon the launch of the dual Sword and Shield expansion and continued to be distributed throughout December 2019, January 2020, and February 2020.

9 Pokémon V Quiz! merchandise

The 9 Pokémon V Quiz! (Japanese: 9匹のポケモンVクイズ！) was a campaign promoting the V Starter Decks. People wishing to take part were tasked to guess the Pokémon that would adorn the packaging of each V Starter Deck. Clues were featured in various media between May 22 and June 7, 2020, including TV Tokyo shows Oha Suta and Meet Up at the Pokémon House? (Pokénchi), the Twitter account Pokémon Information Bureau (Poké Times), and YouTube channels Pokémon Card Channel and Poké-lun TV.^[72]

A pre-addressed postcard could be downloaded from the Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website or the official Pokémon Twitter account, which included spaces next to each type for entrants to append their guesses. Entrants were also required to append their details and which prize they wanted to enter the draw for (A, B, C, or D). Entrants could then cut out the postcard from the form, affix a stamp, and mail it. The competition was open between June 4 and 17, 2020.^[72]^[73] Entries postmarked after June 17 would not be accepted. Entrants could only select one prize draw to enter per postcard but could enter as many times as they liked.

Prize A, or the Oha Suta Prize, offered four winners selected by lottery the right to play a TCG game against an Oha Suta member. Prize B, or Pokénchi Prize 1, offered 99 winners a pack of 64 Abareru-kun Design Original Sleeves (Japanese: あばれる君デザインオリジナルデッキシールド Abareru-kun Design Original Deck Shield), which feature the type symbols represented by the nine V Starter Decks and the words "Endless Battle Do or Do?" in English letterforms composed of number nines.

Champion's League 2021 merchandise

The second event was scheduled to be held in Kyoto at the Kyoto Pulse Plaza on December 13, 2020,^[93] but was canceled due to COVID-19 infection rates rising once again in Japan.^[94] A third event was held in Aichi at the Aichi International Exhibition Center on March 28, 2021.^[95] All entrants were again given a promotional copy of Galarian Zigzagoon and one of eight promotional basic Energy cards at random. A promotional Indeedee V was once again given to players who achieved a certain number of wins in their particular leagues: Junior League competitors were required to win four matches; Senior League competitors were required to win five matches; Master League competitors were required to win seven matches; and Open League competitors were required to win five matches.^[96] A fourth event was added to the schedule for the season and was to be held in Niigata at Toki Messe on May 4, 2021;^[97] however, this event was also later canceled due to COVID concerns.^[98]

For the events that did go ahead, the top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Vitality Band. The top 32 in all leagues were also given a set of exclusive Champion's League card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield).^[99] Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top 4 players in each league.

Pokémon Japan Championships 2021 merchandise

Much of the 2019-2020 Japanese domestic season was disrupted as a result of COVID-19 countermeasures, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the 2020 Pokémon Japan Championships. The 2020-2021 season was similarly affected; states of emergency in numerous prefectures led to the cessation of many events and frequent lockdown extensions threatened to halt its climax. The 2021 Pokémon Japan Championships were initially set to be held on June 12 and 13, 2021^[155] at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, Tokoname but were postponed until July 17 and 18.^[156] Top finishers from the two 2021 Champion's League meetings that went ahead were given preferential entry, as were players who had accumulated a sufficient number of Championship Points (CSP) up to May 21, 2021. Others wishing to participate were required to apply through the Pokémon Card Game Players Club between June 18 and 25 and places were selected through lottery. Participants from the 2021 Champion's League meetings had an increased chance of being drawn. Results of the lottery were announced on July 2.^[157]

As with other large-scale events held prior during the pandemic, spectators were not permitted and no side events or merchandise stalls were present. Other than players and staff, the only people permitted entry were the parents or guardians of younger competitors.^[158] All entrants qualified for a promotional Galarian Zigzagoon and one of eight random promotional basic Energy cards. Junior League competitors who achieved at least four wins during the tournament were also given a promotional Indeedee V card, as were Senior League and Master League competitors who achieved at least five wins. More prizes were awarded to top finishers of the tournament—the top 64 players across all age divisions were given a promotional print of Vitality Band; the top 64 Master League players were also given an Original Cap & T-shirt (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド) bearing the Championships' key visual. The top 32 players across all age divisions were given a set of Champion's League card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield); the top 32 Junior League and Senior League players were also given the Original Cap & T-shirt. The champion, runner-up, and two third-place finishers in each division were awarded a Pokémon Japan Championships 2021 trophy and earned an invitation to the subsequent World Championships, which were eventually held in London in 2022.^[159]

Champion's League 2022 merchandise

The first Champion's League meeting of the 2021-2022 season was scheduled to be held in Yokohama at the Pacifico Yokohama on September 12, 2021;^[183] however, it was canceled due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.^[184] The next planned event went ahead and was held in Kyoto at the Kyoto Pulse Plaza on October 3, 2021.^[185] As with the previous season, no events other than the main tournament were held and no spectators were able to attend due to COVID-19 precautions. Prospective players were required to register their interest between September 3 and 10, 2021 and places were allocated by lottery on September 17.^[186] The second event to go ahead was held at Marine Messe Fukuoka, Fukuoka on November 3, 2021.^[187] People wishing to partake in this event were required to register their interest between October 1 and 8, 2021 and places were allocated by lottery on October 15.^[188] A third event was held at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, Tokoname on March 27, 2022.^[189] People wishing to take part in the Aichi event were required to register their interest between February 25 and March 4, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on March 11.^[190] The Yokohama meeting was rescheduled and served as the final Champion's League meeting of the season on May 8, 2022.^[191] People wishing to partake in this event were required to register their interest between April 8 and 15, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on April 22.^[192]

All competitors at each event were given a promotional Yamper card and one of eight promotional basic Energy cards at random upon entry. A promotional Victini V card was given to players reaching certain thresholds in their respective Leagues. Junior League competitors achieving at least four wins in the qualifying round all received a copy of this card, as did Senior and Master League competitors achieving at least five wins. The Aichi event also hosted an Open League, which had no age restriction and was played using the Extra Regulation format. Open League competitors achieving at least five wins were also awarded this card.^[193]^[194]^[195]^[196] The Victini V card awarded at the Kyoto tournament was printed with the attacks of a different Victini V in error. As a result, no Victini V cards were distributed at the Fukuoka tournament. The error was officially acknowledged in an apology statement uploaded to the official Japanese Pokémon Card website on December 17, 2021. The statement also announced that the error print would be immediately banned across all formats and that eligible players from both the Kyoto and Fukuoka tournaments would have a corrected version mailed to their registered Players Club address.^[197] The correct version was given out at subsequent meetings.

The Master League tournaments at the Aichi and Yokohama meetings were livestreamed on video platforms Niconico and YouTube, during which prizes could be won through Twitter campaigns. People wishing to enter either competition were required to follow the Twitter accounts of Ponyta Ishii, Raichu Umekawa, and Nanapple, all of whom appeared as hosts on the official Pokémon Card Channel, and Tweet messages of support. Those doing so during the March 27 broadcast of the Aichi Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2022愛知, Pokéca CL2022 Aichi, as well as during the May 8 broadcast of the Yokohama Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2022横浜, Pokéca CL2022 Yokohama, were entered into prize lotteries. Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Yamper participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.^[198]^[199]

The top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Escape Rope.

Pokémon Battle Festival Asia 2021 announced; event to run from November 26, 2021 to February 13, 2022 across 9 Asian countries

Following the localization of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in several Asian countries, the Pokémon Asia Top League Kyoto 2020 was the first event scheduled to bring together leading players from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong; however, it was canceled due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[232] A similar event was later held between November 2021 and February 2022—the Pokémon Battle Festival Asia 2021. This event incorporated online tournaments for the TCG, video games, and Pokémon GO; online exhibition matches featuring influencers and special guests for the TCG, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon UNITE; plus a variety of streamed content and competitions.^[233]

The TCG tournament featured players from nine countries: Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Each country was represented by a team of three players and teams would go up against others in best-of-five playoffs. Team members were determined by results of events held prior to the tournament; those from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong were selected from Master League regional winners, while those from other countries played qualifiers to establish the top three representatives. These qualifiers were held on the following dates:

Indonesia: November 27 to December 19, 2021 with a final on January 9, 2022

Matches were conducted online over two days on January 29 and 30, 2022 and were played using a specific format that exclusively used cards with regulation marks 'C', 'D', and 'E' (although several were banned^[235]). Players in the top three teams following the playoffs were each given a Pokémon Battle Festival Asia Original Design Playmat (Japanese: Pokémon Battle Festival Asia オリジナルラバープレイマット Pokémon Battle Festival Asia Original Rubber Playmat) featuring the same artwork as the sleeves and a trophy featuring their final standing.^[234]

COOL×METAL accessories

The COOL×METAL Pokémon Center merchandise line was launched in May 2022 and featured Steel-type Pokémon Lucario, Aegislash, Scizor, Metagross, and Mawile across its array of products. The line comprised metal figures, clothing, silver jewellery manufactured by JAM HOME MADE, a notebook and backpack manufactured by Moleskine, an assortment of TCG accessories, and various other everyday items. Many of the products utilized the line's key visual, which was created by NC Empire^[259] and depict the Pokémon unleashing their moves.

"P-Lab." Project merchandise

Various TCG-inspired items were the subject of a collaborative campaign between the Pokémon Card Game, the Japanese fashion brand Graniph, and Japanese content creator Hajime Syacho. Syacho had input in several aspects of the collaboration, including the focal Pokémon—Pichu—and its name—"P-Lab."^[260] The key visual for the campaign was a representation of a Mischievous Pichu card featuring artwork by Akira Komayama and English text. This was the main facet of the Mischievous Pichu (P-Lab.) Collaboration T-shirt (Japanese: いたずら好きのピチュー(P-Lab.) コラボTシャツ), the Mischievous Pichu (P-Lab.) Collaboration Tote Bag (Japanese: いたずら好きのピチュー(P-Lab.) コラボトートバッグ), and Mischievous Pichu (P-Lab.) Collaboration Mug (Japanese: いたずら好きのピチュー(P-Lab.) コラボマグカップ). The T-shirts and mugs were available in black or white.

The Type Pattern (P-Lab.) Collaboration T-shirt (Japanese: タイプパターン(P-Lab.) コラボTシャツ) features various Energy symbols and two pockets, each deep enough to hold a 60-card deck. The pocket insides feature damage counter and status marker patches, as well as a Japanese Mischievous Pichu card patch. The Pokémon Card Pattern (P-Lab.) Collaboration T-shirt (Japanese: ポケモンカードパターン(P-Lab.) コラボTシャツ) and Pichu & Pokémon Card (P-Lab.) Collaboration Short-Sleeve Shirt (Japanese: ピチュー＆ポケモンカード(P-Lab.) コラボ半袖シャツ) both feature a pattern consisting of TCG card reverse designs and Pichu silhouettes, as well as a Japanese Mischievous Pichu card patch stitched on their inside. The short-sleeve shirt also features an embroidered Pichu and green slime protruding from the chest pocket, both derived from the Mischievous Pichu card illustration. All T-shirts were available in adult or children's sizes. Other items of apparel included Pichu & Type Pattern (P-Lab.) Collaboration Graphic High-top Sneakers (Japanese: ピチュー＆タイプパターン(P-Lab.) コラボグラフィックハイカットスニーカー) and a Pichu Face (P-Lab.) Collaboration Reversible Bucket Hat (Japanese: ピチューフェイス(P-Lab.) コラボリバーシブルバケットハット). The sneakers feature Energy symbols, Poké Balls, splotches of green slime, and Pichu's face; the hat has two interchangeable designs—one featuring Pichu's face, the other featuring Energy symbols, Poké Balls, and splotches of green slime.

All items could be pre-ordered from the Graniph online store from May 25, 2022 and were subsequently available to purchase online and from domestic stores from May 31. Some items were also sold at Pokémon Centers and on the Pokémon Center Online. Customers who purchased at least one "P-Lab." item from Graniph stores (in-store or online) or who made an eligible purchase from participating Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Stores, or the Pokémon Center Online were given a physical Mischievous Pichu promotional card with Japanese text.^[261] These were limited to one per person and were distributed for as long as stocks lasted. This promotion marked the first release of a Pichu card since the SoulSilver Collection in 2009.

Champion's League 2023 merchandise

The first major event of the 2022-2023 season was the 2023 Yokohama Champion's League, which was held at the Pacifico Yokohama over two days on September 17 and 18, 2022.^[292] COVID-19 protocols were still in place, which limited attendance at each season's meeting to players, staff, and the parents/guardians of younger players. People wishing to take part in the Yokohama event were required to register their interest between September 1 and 5, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on September 7.^[293] The second event of the season was the 2023 Kyoto Champion's League, which was held at the Kyoto Pulse Plaza on December 10 and 11, 2022.^[294] People wishing to partake in this event were required to register their interest between November 11 and 18, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on November 24.^[295]

Every competitor at each event was given a pair of promotional cards for attending an event: a Line Holofoil Hisuian Voltorb and one of eight basic Energy cards selected at random. All of these cards feature a Championship Series 2023 stamp. A promotional Hisuian Typhlosion V card was also given to players that won a predefined number of matches in a tournament. For those competing in the Junior League, this target was four wins, whereas those competing in the Senior and Master Leagues required five wins.^[296]^[297] The 2023 Kyoto Champion's League was also the first to hold a side event since the 2019-2020 season.

All participants were given one random Energy participant promo.^[298]

The Master League tournaments at each meeting were livestreamed on video platforms Niconico and YouTube, during which prizes could be won through Twitter campaigns. People wishing to enter either competition were required to follow the Twitter accounts of the official Pokémon Card Channel and its presenters Raichu Umekawa, Nanapple, Kucheat Takeuchi, and Yopifoot, and tweet messages of support. Those doing so during the broadcast of the Yokohama Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023横浜, Pokéca CL2023 Yokohama, as well as the broadcast of the Kyoto Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023京都, Pokéca CL2023 Kyoto, were entered into prize lotteries. Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Hisuian Voltorb participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.^[299]^[300]

The top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Energy Loto. The top 32 players in all leagues were also given a set of card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield) featuring a stylized Champion's League emblem.^[301] Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top four players in each league at each event.
