Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release: Pre-release date and how to find your local prerelease

Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release events are almost here, giving players their first chance to get their hands on the brand-new cards from the Pokémon Journey Together set.

This set, which reintroduces the class Trainer’s Pokemon, is one of the most anticipated sets in years. As such, fans are desperate to know when they can get their hands on the new set. If you can’t wait for the release of the set at the end of the month, you can get Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release information in this guide, and attend your own Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release even in person.

Pokémon Journey Together Prerelease: How to find my local prerelease

Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release events will only take place at Play Pokémon sanctioned venues, such as your local game store. These events don’t happen at big retailers, as the Play Pokémon program is designed to support smaller stores, hence allowing them to host exclusive events like the Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release.

In order to find your local event, your best bet is to check out the Pokémon Events website. This gives you a list of local events, and venues that will hold the Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release. It’s worth noting that this list is not exhaustive or complete and isn’t maintained by Pokémon itself, rather the retailers submit their information to the website.

So it is possible that your local card store will be holding a Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release event and not be part of that website.

Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release: How much does it cost?

A Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release event will typically cost $30/£25.

For this, players get one build and battle box, which includes a pre-built 40-card deck, and three booster packs. From that, players build a deck and play in three rounds of the Pokemon TCG against other players attending the event.

Players who complete three rounds of the event, which are 1vs1 matches against other players, will receive 3 extra booster packs. Winning or losing at the event doesn’t impact who many packs you receive, so as long as you play all of the rounds, you’ll walk away with 7 packs.

Pokémon Journey Together Pre-release: What do I need to bring?

In order to attend a Pokémon Journey Together Prerelease event, you need a TrainerID, which can be acquired for free on the Play Pokémon website. All that is required is for you to create an account, or sign in to your existing one.

It’s also probably worth bringing some sleeves, as you’ll be playing games with the cards that you acquire through packs, so if you get anything you would like to collect, it’s worth bringing sleeves to protect them.
