New Gym Leader Challenge coming to Montrose!

Are you ready for a new way to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game? Then take on the Gym Leader Challenge!

Gym Leader Challenge (“GLC” for short) is a fun, challenging, and diverse format that lets you use a much larger pool of cards than the typical Standard format we use in tournaments! In Gym Leader Challenge, players specialize in a single type of Pokémon and build their deck only using that type of Pokémon, like a Gym Leader would!

While we don’t have any GLC tournaments sanctioned yet (though, we hope to hope to have one in June!) we do have some fun rewards for trainers who want to take the Gym Leader Challenge during our biweekly casual league sessions in Montrose! Any player who defeats Professor Zack in a GLC battle at League will be given their pick of official Pokémon Prize Pack promo cards to commemorate their success!

And for those wanting to take their Gym Leader Challenge to the next level, starting April 19th, challengers can be given a Victory Tracker card by Professor Zack. Use this card to track when you win a GLC match with anyone at League with each type of deck. Win with all 11 types, and you’ll receive a special award for mastering them all!

Learn more about the deckbuilding rules of the GLC format, including what cards are and are not allowed to be used, on our Gym Leader Challenge page, and join our Discord server to discuss decks and strategies with the local community!
