14.1.8. Foreign Cards
Players may use non-local language cards in their decks, provided they meet the following requirements:
• All of the cards in the player’s deck have been released, in English, in the United States and are legal for use according to the event’s format restrictions
• The player has an English or local-language version of the card, outside of his or her deck, for reference, OR the player has a copy of the official Pokémon TCG Card-Dex containing the card’s text, which can be downloaded at from the Tournament Rules and Resources page. Card scans are not an acceptable method of translation.
If a judge determines that a player is using non-local language cards and/or misprinted cards to gain an advantage, that player will be subject to the Cheating section of the POP Penalty Guidelines.
