Release information
This Tretta was awarded as a prize at each Challenge Cup event held at the 37th Next Generation World Hobby Fair during winter 2013. The World Hobby Fair took place at the Nagoya Dome, Nagoya on January 20, 2013; at Makuhari Messe, Chiba on January 26 and 27, 2013; at the Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome, Fukuoka on February 3, 2013; and at the Kyocera Dome Osaka, Osaka on February 10, 2013.
The Challenge Cup tasked entrants to defeat either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem in one of eight possible teams of three Pokémon. The Battle Mode takes place in a location made exclusively for the event: a forest with colorful trees and bunting. This theme would later serve the basis of all locations in the Gather! New Leaguers expansion. Genesect could also exclusively be encountered in two of the eight teams, not featured on a Tretta until the Witness Genesect! expansion. The possible teams are detailed below.
Players who managed to defeat either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem were awarded either this Tretta or a White Kyurem Tretta depending on the team. The top 20 scorers were also awarded a 'WINNER' seal, with the top three scorers earning a personalized certificate, and the overall winner earning a Pokémon Tretta manga image signed by Kazuhiko Sugitani. All participants were also awarded either a Servine, Pignite, Dewott, Cobalion, Chandelure, Terrakion, or Hydreigon Tretta at random.
The Challenge Cup was held again as part of the Kids Games Festival in Spring, first held at Yomiuri Land, Tokyo and at Den Park, Anjō on April 7, 2013. Several other venues across Japan were later added, taking place between April 27 and May 26, 2013.
A combination of Pokémon Smash! Challenge Cup and regular Challenge Cup events were held as part of the Pokémon Exciting Carnival, held at several AEON Malls across Japan from May 11 to July 13, 2013. The Pokémon Smash! Challenge Cup events included guest appearances by cast members and mascots of Pokémon Smash!. In addition to the regular top ranking and participation prizes, Pokémon Smash! Challenge Cup participants also earned a special Tretta Report seal featuring the Director Lucario and Oshawott mascots.
Two Challenge Cup events were held in conjunction with the 15th anniversary of Pokémon Centers in Japan. The previously announced Pokémon Smash! Challenge Cup was held at Pokémon Centers nationwide from May 25 to May 31, 2013. The Strongest Challenge in History! Kyurem Challenge was held at Pokémon Centers nationwide from June 1 to June 14, 2013. This event again tasked entrants to defeat either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, though featured a different set of eight possible teams. These teams are detailed below.
