Rock Gifted White Elephant – Pokémon TCG Highlander: December 2023 Update

With cheer (and coal) to give this month, the community aims to finish out the year with no one on the naughty list.

Ice Type Holiday Bonus

Our In-Person and Online monthlies (voting still open) are offering a Holiday Bonus. Enter with an Ice Type Pokémon in your main deck and get a bonus prize that accumulates with each match win.

We are Tripling the Cube

Starting next year, I will be tripling the Pokémon count in the cube. This should be a reasonable amount to stop most players from being sniped. Due to our increasing community size, I will be leaving Trainer/Supporter/Stadium/Energy preparation to the players. I will begin selling/trading all non-Pokémon cards in the cube at a reduced price to community members starting today, December will be the last month I provide everything as I work on purchasing more pre-evolutions and printing more Pokémon for next year (Form Changes as well).

You are 100% allowed to print off any and all cards you don’t have. It’s okay if you have 2 Quick Ball copies and print off a 3rd for your deck. BUT, you are encouraged to bring your own sleeves now, I will provide borrowed sleeves at the event if you need them, but it will make the process easier (and allow you to bring the Mega Gengar ones lying around your closet from your local event you went to years ago!)

New players will be given two tournaments of me providing every card. If you need help with printing/finding cards for the future, feel free to message me or ⁠#pokemon-tcg-highlander on the Community Discord/Facebook Page, the community has accumulated a lot of these cards over time as more and more people cross over to Standard/Expanded and vice versa.

If the number disappears next to a card name on the database, that means it has been sold/traded.

All of the new Scarlet and Violet legal T/S/St/En cards have been added to the database. The full list at the bottom of the page.
