Two pack designs saw distribution: one all turquoise in color, the other mostly turquoise with white seals.

Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 1
Similar to many Pokémon League locations in regions overseen by The Pokémon Company International, Pokémon Card Gyms are registered stores in Japan that host casual TCG events on a regular basis. Official paraphernalia was sent to these stores by The Pokémon Company, which often comprised advertisements, gameplay materials, and Promo Card Packs. These packs could be distributed amongst participants in whichever way Pokémon Card Gym organizers saw fit, though generally one pack was given to everyone competing in a Gym Battle event or a New Set Battle event. Additional packs were typically given to the top finishers in these events: three for those placing first, two for those placing second, and one for those placing third. Three packs were also given to winners of periodic rock paper scissors competitions.
The first Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Packs of the Scarlet & Violet Era were distributed at events held in conjunction with the release of the Scarlet ex and Violet ex expansions on January 20, 2023.[3] Packs were enclosed with one random card from a pool of seven SV-P Promotional cards, each of which feature the Pokémon Card Gym logo.

Endorsed Independent Event Trainer's Pack 2023
In 2015, The Pokémon Company launched the Pokémon Card Game Endorsed Independent Event program, which allowed third parties to hold non-sponsored TCG events in effort to provide more local bases for beginners.[4] Much like Organizers in the Professor Program outside Asia, those wishing to host such events were required to pass a Pokémon Card Game Endorsed Qualification Exam and qualify as an Event Organizer. As with several previous Eras, the Pokémon Company provided special Endorsed Independent Event Trainer's Packs to established Endorsed Independent Event sites ready for the start of the Scarlet & Violet Era. With the release of Scarlet ex and Violet ex, these packs could be distributed by Event Organizers to participants of their events in any way they saw fit. Each pack was enclosed with one random card from a pool of nine SV-P Promotional cards, all of which featured an Event Organizer logo.

Deck As Is Battle ~Get Eevee~
Pokémon Card Gym stores able to do so also began to host Deck As Is Battle ~Get Eevee~ (Japanese: デッキそのままバトル~イーブイゲットだぜ~) events from January 20, 2023. These events required participants to use one of the ex Starter Sets in games without any modification (although participants were permitted to integrate cards from enclosed Promo Card Packs). Decks could be purchased at the host store or could be brought in. While stocks lasted, everyone taking part in an event was given a promotional print of Eevee bearing the Pokémon Card Gym logo. Winners of rock paper scissors competitions held during these events were also given a Paper Deck Case (Japanese: 紙製デッキケース) featuring Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. More products became eligible as these events continued to be held throughout the Era, including the ex Starter Set Pikachu ex & Pawmot from March 24, 2023 and the ex Start Decks from July 7, 2023. The Tera ex Start Decks, sold individually from November 24, 2023, also became eligible upon release.[5]
With the start of a new Regulation block in 2024 and the release of the Pokémon Card Game Battle Academy from March 8, the original events were superseded by the Deck As Is Battle ~Get Eevee~: Battle Academy Limited Battle (Japanese: デッキそのままバトル~イーブイゲットだぜ~ バトルアカデミー限定戦). These events similarly required participants to use one of the Battle Academy decks in games without any modification. While stocks lasted, the same promotional Eevee card was given to everyone taking part and the same Paper Deck Case could be obtained by winning rock paper scissors competitions.[6] The only new prize on offer was a Battle Notebook (Japanese: バトルノート), which was given to children of elementary school age or younger that took part in a game. The notebook features the Battle Academy box artwork and has space to record the details of 70 games.[7]

Pokémon Card Game Classroom
Pokémon Card Game Classroom (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム教室) events were tailored for children of elementary school age and below and served as an introduction to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The first events of the Scarlet & Violet Era were held in conjunction with the launch of the dual Scarlet ex and Violet ex expansion on January 20, 2023 and took place at participating Pokémon Centers across Japan. Classes were held several times per week and could be one of two formats: an "individual format", a one-on-one experience with a staff member, or "school format", an experience with multiple customers and staff members. Participants were required to be a member of the Pokémon Card Game Players Club and at least one parent or guardian was to accompany them; proof of age could also be requested prior to attending. From January 20, 2023, every child that participated in a class was given a promotional print of Eevee bearing the Pokémon Card Game Classroom logo and a beginner playmat while stocks lasted. Playmats featured a standard 2-player layout with annotations on the front and deck building tips on the reverse.
Starting April 2024, the participation prize was changed to a Pokémon Card Game Classroom Student ID (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム教室 学生証). Roughly the same size as a Pokémon trading card, the front features the Paldea first partner Pokémon and foil detailing, while the reverse features three spaces to affix mini stickers. Nine mini stickers were available in total, each of which resembled a card from the Triplet Beat subset. Participants were given one Basic Pokémon mini sticker with their Student ID: either Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly. Stickers depicting Evolution cards could be earned by taking part in other scheduled events, including Pokémon Center Casual Battles with Pokémon Cards!, City Leagues in either the Junior League or Senior League age bracket, and Sealed Battles. Children would receive the corresponding Floragato, Crocalor, or Quaxwell Stage 1 Pokémon sticker by attending an eligible event after receiving their Student ID, followed by the corresponding Meowscarada ex, Skeledirge ex, or Quaquaval ex Stage 2 Pokémon ex sticker by attending a subsequent eligible event. Staff would affix any mini stickers earned. Stock permitting, Student IDs were distributed until March 31, 2025 and mini stickers were distributed until May 31, 2025.[8]

Champions League 2023 merchandise
Champions League tournaments are the Japanese equivalent of Regional Championships and are typically held four or five times during a season. The 2022-2023 season began in the latter part of the Sword & Shield Era; the first Champions League meeting of the Scarlet & Violet Era was therefore the third of the overall season. It was hosted at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, Tokoname over two days on February 25 and 26, 2023.[10] People wishing to take part in the Aichi event were required to register their interest between January 27 and February 3, 2023 and places were allocated by lottery on February 10.[11] The next event was the 2023 Miyagi Champions League, which was held at the Miyagi Industrial Exchange Center (also known as Dream Messe Miyagi), Sendai on April 1 and 2, 2023.[12] People wishing to participate in the Miyagi event were required to register their interest between March 3 and 10, 2023 and places were allocated by lottery on March 17.[13] The final Champions League event of the season was the 2023 Niigata Champions League, which was held at Toki Messe, Niigata on May 6 and 7, 2023.[14] People wishing to participate in the Niigata event were required to register their interest between April 7 and 14, 2023 and places were allocated by lottery on April 21.[15] COVID-19 protocols limited attendance at each venue to players, staff, and the parents/guardians of younger players.
Every competitor at each event was given a pair of promotional cards for entering: a Holofoil Charcadet and one of eight Basic Energy cards selected at random. All of these cards feature a Championship Series 2023 stamp. A promotional Hisuian Typhlosion V card was also given to players that won a predefined number of matches in a tournament. For those competing in the Junior League, this target was four wins, whereas those competing in the Senior and Master Leagues required five wins.[16][17] The Aichi meeting also hosted an Open League, which had no age restriction and was played using the Extra Regulation format. The target for the Open League was also five wins.[18]
The only side event in operation at each venue was the 4-League Battle, which were 4-player round robin mini tournaments. These were open to Master League competitors only on a tournament's first day, while those held on the second day were open to other League competitors, as well as Master League competitors who had advanced from the qualifying round. All participants were given one random Energy participant promo.[19][20][21]
The Master League tournaments at each venue were live-streamed on video platforms NicoNico and YouTube, during which prizes could be won through Twitter campaigns. People wishing to enter a competition were required to follow the Twitter accounts of the official Pokémon Card Channel and its presenters Raichu Umekawa, Nanapple, Kucheat Takeuchi, and Yopifoot, and Tweet messages of support. Those doing so during the broadcast of the Aichi Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023愛知, Pokéca CL2023 Aichi were entered into a prize lottery, as were those who Tweeted with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023宮城, Pokéca CL2023 Miyagi during the broadcast of the Miyagi Master League tournament. Two lotteries were held in conjunction with the broadcast of the Niigata Master League tournament—people were required to Tweet with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023新潟予選, Pokéca CL2023 Niigata Qualifying Round on the first day and Tweet with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023新潟本戦, Pokéca CL2023 Niigata Main Battle on the second. Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Charcadet participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.[22][23][24]
The top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Energy Loto. The top 32 players in all leagues were also given a set of card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield) featuring a stylized Champions League emblem.[25] New Victory Symbol trophy cards were awarded to the top finishers in each league category at each venue; gold variants were given to those finishing first, silver ones were given to the runners-up, and bronze variants were given to the losing semi-finalists.

Pokémon Japan Championships 2023 merchandise
The final competitive event of the Japanese 2022-2023 domestic season was the 2023 Pokémon Japan Championships. The event was held at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba on June 10 and 11, 2023, which hosted tournaments for the video games, the Trading Card Game, Pokémon GO, and—for the first time—Pokémon UNITE.[47] For those playing the TCG, top finishers from 2023 Champions League tournaments were given preferential entry, as were players who had accumulated a sufficient number of Championship Points (CSP) up to May 19, 2023. Others wishing to participate were required to apply through the Pokémon Card Game Players Club between May 12 and 19. Places were selected through lottery draws by May 26.[48]
All TCG tournament entrants qualified for a promotional Charcadet card and a random promotional Basic Energy card. Junior League players who achieved at least four wins during the event were also given a promotional Hisuian Typhlosion V card, as were Senior League and Master League players who achieved at least five wins.[49] The Master League tournament was also live-streamed on video platforms Niconico and YouTube, during which people could participate in Twitter competitions. Those wishing to partake were required to follow the Twitter accounts of the official Pokémon Card Channel and its presenters Raichu Umekawa, Nanapple, Kucheat Takeuchi, and Yopifoot, and tweet messages of support. Those doing so during the broadcast on the first day of the Championships with the hashtag #ポケカPJCS2023予選, Pokéca PJCS2023 Qualifying Round were entered into a prize lottery, as were those who Tweeted with the hashtag #ポケカPJCS2023本戦, Pokéca PJCS2023 Main Battle during the second day's broadcast. Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Charcadet participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.[50]
Entrants and the parents/guardians of younger players could also participate in the PJCS2023 4-League Battle side event held on the second day of the Championships. These more casual events were 4-player round robin mini tournaments and were open to players of the video games, the TCG, and Pokémon GO. All participants of these events were given a PJCS2023 sticker.[51]
The top 64 tournament players across all age divisions were given a promotional print of Energy Loto; Master League players were also given an Original Cap & T-shirt (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド). The top 32 players across all age divisions were given a set of Champions League card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield); Junior League and Senior League players were also given the Original Cap & T-shirt. The champion, runner-up, and two third-place finishers in each division were awarded a Pokémon Japan Championships 2023 trophy and earned invitations to the 2023 World Championships.[49]

All entrants at a Champions League meeting were given a pair of promotional cards: a Holofoil Gimmighoul and one of eight Basic Energy cards selected at random. All of these cards feature a Championship Series 2024 stamp. A promotional Zapdos ex card was also given to players that won a predefined number of matches in a tournament. For those competing in the Junior League, this target was four wins, whereas those competing in the Senior and Master Leagues required five wins.[74][75][76][77] The Aichi meeting also hosted an Open League, which had no age restriction and was played using the Extra Regulation format. The target for the Open League was also five wins.[78]
Several side events were held at different venues. Possible TCG side events included the 4-League Battle, a four-player round robin mini tournament; the 8-League Battle, an eight-player single-elimination tournament; and the 3 on 3 Battle, a trio of single matches between three-member teams in a winner stays on format. These events were only open to Master League competitors on a tournament's first day, while those held on the second day were open to Junior and Senior League competitors, their parents/guardians, as well as Master League competitors who had advanced from the qualifying round. The 2024 Yokohama Champions League only held the 4-League Battle, which awarded one of the eight Basic Energy promos at random, as well as two random sticker sheets from a pool of eight to all participants.[79] The eight sticker sheet variants distributed at the Yokohama event each featured a different Scarlet & Violet Era booster pack, ranging from Scarlet ex and Violet ex through to Raging Surf; all sheets also included a Champions League 2024 logo sticker and ten Energy symbol stickers. The 2024 Kyoto Champions League held the 4-League Battle, which awarded one random Basic Energy promo and two of four possible stickers to all participants. This meeting also had autograph sessions with the four current presenters of the Pokémon Card Channel, who were present at select times across the two days.[80] The 2024 Fukuoka Champions League held the 4-League Battle and the 8-League Battle.

Scramble Battle participants could also take part in the 4-League Battle.[83] The participant stickers distributed at meetings following the Yokohama event each featured different Pokémon ex cards from Scarlet & Violet Era expansions.
While the tournaments had limited attendance, a couple of venues also had public areas open to everyone. At the 2024 Kyoto Champions League, people could use the Mega Pokémon Gacha machine present, shop for TCG products at the Pokémon Card Game Sales Corner, and watch games from the tournament in a dedicated Public Viewing hall.[84] The 2024 Aichi and Sapporo Champions League meetings similarly featured the Mega Pokémon Gacha machine and Pokémon Card Game Sales Corner. They also had a Teaching Corner for newcomers to the TCG, an area for autograph sessions with the four Pokémon Card Channel presenters, and spectator seating for the final rounds on the Feature Stage.[85][86]
The Master League tournaments at each venue were live-streamed on video platforms NicoNico and YouTube, during which prizes could be won through Twitter campaigns. People wishing to enter a competition were required to follow the accounts of the official Pokémon Card Channel and its presenters Raichu Umekawa, Nanapple, Kucheat Takeuchi, and Yopifoot, and post messages of support. Two lottery draws were held in conjunction with the broadcast of the Yokohama Master League tournament—people were required to post with the hashtag #ポケカCL2024横浜予選, Pokéca CL2024 Yokohama Qualifying Round on the first day and post with the hashtag #ポケカCL2024横浜本戦, Pokéca CL2024 Yokohama Main Battle on the second.

Scramble Battle merchandise
The Scramble Battle was a large-scale casual Standard Regulation event introduced in 2024, which employed the use of competitor's smartphones to match players after games without waiting for other games to end—a format dubbed "real-time Swiss draw". The Pokémon Company would look to implement the format in future events if it trialed successfully.
The first event was held at the Ariake GYM-EX, Tokyo on March 2, 2024.[124] People wishing to take part in this event could apply through the Pokémon Card Game Players Club. The primary acceptance period was open between February 2 and 13, 2024 and places were allocated by lottery on February 16. A secondary acceptance period was open between February 20 and 29 and places were allocated on a first come, first served basis.[125] A second Scramble Battle was held as a side event during the 2024 Sapporo Champions League at the Sapporo Dome on May 3 and 4, 2024.[126] Participants of the main Champions League tournament were free to enter, while others wishing to take part could apply through the Pokémon Card Game Players Club between April 17 and May 1, 2024 to assure a spot or enter on the day.[127] A third Scramble Battle served as the final large-scale domestic event for the 2023-2024 season and was held at Twin Messe Shizuoka on August 10 and 11, 2024.[128] People could apply for places at this event through the Pokémon Card Game Players Club. The acceptance period was open between July 12 and 22, 2024 and places were allocated by lottery on July 24.[129] The second day of the Shizuoka event was also eligible for "friend applications", which ensured groups of between two and five people would receive the same lottery results.[130] All prospective players were required to have a smartphone and a LINE account for the draw system.
At the Tokyo and Sapporo events, as well as on the second day at the Shizuoka event, players earned the right to purchase one Pokémon Card Lottery (Japanese: ポケカくじ Pokéca Lottery) e-ticket for each game they participated in. Players that participated in four or more games were given a Scramble Battle Can Badge (Japanese: スクランブルバトル缶バッジ). Players that won at least four games were given a Fighting Spirit Prize Sticker (Japanese: 敢闘賞 ステッカー); those achieving the maximum seven wins were also given a Complete Victory Prize Sticker (Japanese: 全勝賞 ステッカー).[131][132] On the first day of the Shizuoka event, participants received five Pokémon Card Lottery e-tickets regardless of their results and were given a Fighting Spirit Prize Sticker if they played at least eight games. Players that won at least seven games would earn priority application status for the first day of competition in the 2025 Tokyo Champions League; players that won eight games would also earn the right to a first round bye.[133]
After deciding to finish playing, participants could collect any prizes they earned and purchase any accumulated Pokémon Card Lottery e-tickets at the Pokémon Card Lottery Corner. Each ticket cost ¥600. At the Tokyo event, players could opt for the Standard lottery or the Extra lottery (they could not select a mixture).[134] Each lottery type offered seven prizes:[135]
Standard lottery (Tokyo event)
- Special prize: 30 packs (6 each of Pokémon Card 151, Ancient Roar, Future Flash, Wild Force, and Cyber Judge)
- Prize A: 10 packs (2 each of Pokémon Card 151, Ancient Roar, Future Flash, Wild Force, and Cyber Judge)
- Prize B: 3 Pokémon Card 151 packs
- Prize C: 4 Ancient Roar packs
- Prize D: 4 Future Flash packs
- Prize E: 4 Wild Force packs
- Prize F: 4 Cyber Judge packs
Extra lottery (Tokyo event)
- Special prize: 30 packs (6 each of Single Strike Master, Rapid Strike Master, Silver Lance, Jet-Black Spirit, and Eevee Heroes)
- Prize A: 10 packs (2 each of Single Strike Master, Rapid Strike Master, Silver Lance, Jet-Black Spirit, and Eevee Heroes)
- Prize B: 4 Single Strike Master packs
- Prize C: 4 Rapid Strike Master packs
- Prize D: 4 Silver Lance packs
- Prize E: 4 Jet-Black Spirit packs
- Prize F: 4 Eevee Heroes packs
The special prizes were planned to be a booster box from a single set, but this was changed to an assortment of 30 packs in the run-up to the event.[134] Only the Extra lottery was offered at the Sapporo event, which featured a different prize pool to the Tokyo one.[136][137] A Standard lottery and an Extra lottery was offered at the Shizuoka event. Players could only redeem and purchase tickets for one type of draw.[138] The prize pool for the Shizuoka Extra lottery was the same as the Sapporo event.
Extra lottery (Sapporo and Shizuoka events)
- Special prize 1: 30 packs (6 each of Peerless Fighters, Eevee Heroes, Skyscraping Perfection, Blue Sky Stream, and Fusion Arts)

Battle Academy
- Main article: Pokémon Card Game Battle Academy (TCG)
The Family Pokémon Card Game line of products released during the Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield Eras was rebranded for its Scarlet & Violet incarnation as Battle Academy (Japanese: バトルアカデミー), much like the equivalent products available outside Asia. The core audience of the kit remained children and their families, which were catered for with the inclusion of four simple 60-card decks featuring Sprigatito ex, Pikachu ex, Lucario ex, and Greninja ex. Each set also included literature in the form of beginner's guides and a step-up guide, plus several accessories: a cardboard sheet containing damage counters and status markers, a full-size playmat, a set of four color-coded deck bands, a card tidying-up partition, three card dividers, and a damage counter case. The Battle Academy became available for general sale on March 8, 2024.

POKÉMON CARD LOUNGE merchandise
In conjunction with the renovation of SHIBUYA TSUTAYA in Tokyo, operator Culture Convenience Club partnered with The Pokémon Company to create a space dedicated to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The result was the POKÉMON CARD LOUNGE, a space in the image of an executive lounge with specially made tables and chairs. Opened on April 25, 2024, the lounge offers seating for 82 people (78 on the main floor space and four in a Private Room) and features a subdued color scheme that incorporates Energy symbol motifs.
The price for a 60-minute session on the main floor space was ¥1,650 per person; 30-minute extensions could also purchased for ¥660 per person. The Private Room could be hired out for ¥8,250 per hour, with 30-minute extensions costing ¥3,300 each. Three-hour block sessions could also be purchased on the main floor space for ¥3,650 per person; the Private Room could similarly be hired for the same amount of time for ¥18,500. Measures were taken to make players of all levels feel welcome, therefore all items required for conducting games could be rented free of charge, including an array of 60-card standard decks. All POKÉMON CARD LOUNGE patrons were given a random commemorative Welcome Card (Japanese: ウェルカムカード) that could be used as a deck case divider. Eleven designs were available, each of which featured a different Energy symbol on the front; the reverse included spaces for people to detail the date of their visit, decks used, and their play experience. The lounge also featured a self-service counter that offered free drinks and snacks, a gallery area that displayed six large Pokémon card decorations, and a merchandise area that sold recent TCG products and exclusive POKÉMON CARD LOUNGE-branded items. Entry to the merchandise area was free. The majority of these items used the same Energy symbol motif used throughout the lounge.[150][151][152]
