Tournament Rules:
VGC Rainbow
Using Pokemon Sword and Shield, Series 12 rules.

AND
* The maximum combined weight of your team is 450 kg, with no Pokemon over 200 kg.

TCG Hide and Seek
Deck Construction: 30 card decks, 2 card limit (other than basic energy), Expanded Format, no restrictions on rarities.
Every deck must contain at least one Magikarp (from any set)
In “HIDE” rounds, if your Magikarp gets revealed, you must concede the game. Revealed means in a place where both players can see it – bench/active/discard spot, but also if an attack (or trainer card) forces your opponent to reveal their hand and the Magikarp is there, you win. Attacks like Minccio’s Glance “Look at the top card of your opponent’s deck” do not count, as you get to look, but your opponent doesn’t.
In “SEEK” rounds, you cannot attack unless your Magikarp is in play, either on the bench or in the active spot.
We will randomly determine at the start of each round whether it is a HIDE round or a SEEK round.
