Deck construction Rules.
Decks will use Standard 60-card construction with the following exceptions:
- Only Pokémon with a rarity of Common may be used. Trainers [and Special Energy] with a rarity of [Common and] Uncommon may also be used.
- Only cards from XY expansions may be used. [Double Crisis counts as an XY set.]
- No Black Star Promos may be used.
It is important to note the following when preparing to attend this event:
- A fully charged 3DS or 2DS system will not be required but may result in interesting opportunities. Not having a VG unit may not spare you from said opportunities.
- Do not add cards to your deck that are unwilling to see potentially dinged or damaged.
- Pokémon attacks listed on cards will require the listed amount of energy and the same number of different types of energy but not the specific energy type listed.
Example: In order to use Pansage’s (XY 10/141 Common) Vine whip attack, you may use any attached energy, not just Grass.
- Double Colorless energy may still only be used to pay costs listed as colorless.
- Energy types in play may have unforeseen effects on games in progress.
