Pokemon Gym Leader Challenge

Step into the arena of the Gym Leader Challenge (GLC), a unique and strategic format of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In GLC, creativity and skill are your greatest allies. Here’s what you need to know:

Event Fee: $10 Prizes: Store credit for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, scaled based on attendance

GLC Rules:

• Singleton Format: Only one of each card (except Basic Energy)
• No Rule Box or ACE SPEC Cards
• Mono-Type Decks: Only one type (color) of Pokémon per deck
• Card Era: Cards printed from Black & White onwards
• Ban List Compliance: No cards from the current Ban List

Mastering GLC is a true test of your deck-building prowess and in-game strategy. With each card being unique in your deck, every choice and play counts!

Accessibility: Gym Leader Challenge decks are surprisingly affordable, often costing less than an Elite Trainer Box! This makes GLC an accessible format for many players.

Knowledge is Power: The legal card pool spans from 2011's Black and White set to the latest expansions, offering a vast array of strategic options. Familiarity with this extensive card pool is crucial for success.

Note on Fairy Type: While not banned, Fairy type is at a disadvantage due to discontinuation and reduced card pool. However, bold trainers can still explore Fairy type strategies using online resources.

Join the Challenge! GLC offers a rewarding gameplay experience, encouraging continuous refinement and adaptation. Test your mettle, refine your strategies, and enjoy the thrill of the Gym Leader Challenge!
