Pokémon: Pitch Black Prerelease at Gnome Games Green Bay West

Join the Gnomes at Gnome Games Green Bay West for the Prerelease fun with the newest set from Pokemon: Pitch Black!

  • Saturday, July 11th @ 11:00am
  • $40 Entry

Take part in a Pokémon Prerelease for Pitch Black! Crack open a Build & Battle kit, craft a deck, and see how you do in a 3 round Swiss style tournament! All participants get 3 packs of Pitch Black at the end for playing in the 3 rounds! Players have 30 minutes to build their decks. Rounds are 30 minutes, best of one.

Entry is $40. Take a peek at the Pokémon Event Locator for more event details! Players must have a Play! Pokémon ID. Don’t have one? We can help set you up with one in-store! Registration can be completed at your convenience. You can also register on pokemon.com!

Our events are on:

  • July 9th @5:30pm
  • July 11th @11:00am

What is Prerelease?

A prerelease is a type of event that gives players the chance to get product early. In the case of Pokémon, people can participate in events before the set comes out. Each person receives a Build & Battle kit, which consists of a random 40 card deck and 4 packs of the set. Then they battle it out in 3 rounds of a Swiss style Tournament and receive extra packs at the end for participating! Players get to keep all of the cards that they get from prereleases.

The Prerelease format allows players to compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play. This is different from the usual 60-card deck with six Prize cards. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are also a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.
