Now that we have a card of a literal card again, Pokemon has the once in a decade opportunity to create the funniest alt art

[Alex K @Forry140]

Finally time to relax a bit and process the past two weeks after immediately going back to work.

I'm happy I finally got to experience jp events as a player. Easy Highlight of the trip in terms of TCG stuff. Worlds was tough (0-2 tough) but there's always next time. 😅

Optimal Kieran is actually the German one so you can hit your opponent with a Jo mama joke

my ascended heroes PC ETBs were probably stolen 😭 got the fedex out for delivery notif, driver name and photo then it kept getting delayed and then the “we can’t find your package” alert.
did some digging and the driver is a collector/vendor at local card shows
cool cool cool 🥀

BCS Germany Standard Champion 🥇

Updated my unsponsored invite to a sponsored invite and I wanted to give @Forry140 a standard invite so I picked the same deck choice he got 4th with.

Thanks @MWinley1 & @ISilent_Crow for lending me cards

Did you catch the exclusive first-look at the new #Pokemon30 items at #PokemonEUIC last weekend? 👀

[Manaphys_Jay @MUCManaphysJay]

Didn't know my buddy made it into Day 2 😆🔥
Thanks for the great Picture! @fanfinity_pkm 🙏☺️

[Joe Myerscough @The_EPSD]

With the growing number of variants in the Pokemon TCG, Major Tournaments need to accurate display the meta share of each of these variants.

While this redesign I made is not final, it accurately showcases variants, while allowing space for additional decks in the Top 6

Hoping the 4th Drakloak is prized all day

[Play! Pokémon @playpokemon]

Functional reprints of cards already considered legal in the #PokemonTCG Standard format are playable from the start of that newest expansion's release date.

Therefore, cards such as the Budew illustration rare from Mega Evolution— #AscendedHeroes will be legal for play at the 2026 Europe International Championships.

[P:ART | Eliza @ElizaSheetposts]

The 2-pack Ascended Heroes blisters have been delayed in multiple regions, with some having the entire set delayed.

EUIC is expected to have Ascended Heroes legal.

I understand changing that would cause several issues, but it would be competitively unfair to keep it legal

[Joe Merrick @JoeMerrick]

TPCi really needs to figure out a better system for Pokémon Center slots for EUIC, NAIC and Worlds

Every time it's an absolute mess and people can't book, waste their time and it's just poor.

Why they continue to use this system, I have no idea

[ROOT DIG inder @inderUNITE]

in order to get the OPPORTUNITY to buy stuff at EUIC you have to:

1) edit the link sent in the email because it's wrong
2) edit the link again to bypass the schedule screen
3) know when to refresh a particular error
4) try roughly 10-15 times

why can't pokemon related things just be easy...
