We’ll be doing a Worlds Celebration event at the Montrose Library on Saturday, Aug. 17th! Join us at a party celebrating the Pokémon World Championships! To celebrate the spirit of competition, all arrivals get a special Pikachu promo card featuring an intense battle between Pikachu and Mew, a Honolulu-inspired backdrop, and the World Championships stamp.
Play casual games, trade, and make new friends! There will also be other exclusive promotional items given out throughout the event.
When: August 17, 2024, 1:00pm-5:00pm Where: Montrose Regional Library, 320 South 2nd St., Montrose, CO 81401
Due to changes in Box Buster Sports Cards’ hours this summer, our regular league sessions will be changing days and time! Starting June 27, casual Pokémon League will be moving to every other THURSDAY from 5-8pm! That’s right, league is finally returning to 3-hour sessions, which means more time to earn prize packs and have fun!
Also, our free Gym Leader Challenge tournament is moving to SATURDAY, June 22nd at 2:00pm! In addition to the exclusive Buddy-Buddy Poffin, Super Rod, and TM Evolution promo cards all participants will get, the winners in each age division will also receive a Champion playmat!
We hope you’ll continue to join us for a summer filled with all kinds of Pokémon fun!
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!
