Welcome to the Girly Pop Cup: The Ho-Ohdown!

The Girly Pop Games is celebrating PRIDE by hosting a Pokémon TCG competition for LGBTQ+ players of all skill levels! Finally, a tournament that isn’t just for content creators!

This event is happening LIVE at the Girly Pop Games Twitch Channel, and we're partnering with NoraInTheFuture's PKMNpride to raise money for the Lambert House LGBTQ+ Youth Center in Seattle!

Charity Fundraiser, Prize & Entry Requirements

To enter this tournament we require a $10 entrance fee that will be donated to charity and a receipt of your donation, which we will verify using our Tiltify account. (The blue hyperlink will take you to the donation page.)

The winner of this tournament will receive 200 Pokémon TCG Live code cards for Mega Evolution: Chaos Rising, or any combination of code cards you choose!

Pokémon Usage

This tournament will run in Pokémon TCG Live using the Standard format. However, we will be removing three Pokémon cards from the format to add some variety to the tournament! The following cards and all of their arts will be banned:

1. Dragapult ex (TWM 130)
2. Crustle (DRI 12)
3. Raging Bolt ex (TEF 123)

In addition, we ask that your deck should have a theme! This can apply to a single line of Pokémon, a specific use case of Supporters, or an ability or attack you have in your deck! We want you to showcase your most girly pop self! Some deck compositions include the following, but feel free to come up with your own:

• Based on the colors of a Pride flag
• A mono-type team
• Pokémon of one specific color
• Genderless Pokémon

Competition Rules and Flow

To ensure you have a true TCG experience, we will use the same rules as the Pokémon World Championships! Our competition will happen in two parts:

Day 1 (June 20th) | Swiss Rounds — All players will be randomly paired for R1, and all subsequent rounds based on match score. Each win will earn 3 points. No Phase 2 will occur for these rounds.

Day 2 (June 27th @ 9am PT) | Live Finale — The Top 4 players will be paired based on seed and participate in a best-of-three single-elimination bracket. These battles will be streamed live on the Girly Pop Games Twitch Channel.

Important Dates & Final Decklist

The deadline to submit your deck is Wednesday, June 17th, 11:59pm Pacific Time. You may submit a decklist via the Limitless Tournament page during or after registration
