Here’s information on this exciting new set from the Pokemon Website: An amazing discovery has been made in the Pokémon TCG! Pokémon BREAK Evolution opens a new path to power that builds on a Pokémon's existing strengths and creates all-new battling options! These new Pokémon BREAK come from twin worlds, home to Zoroark BREAK, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. One world of technology, one world of nature, and all the wonders of BREAK Evolution are yours to explore in the Pokémon TCG: XY—BREAKthrough expansion! The Pokémon TCG: XY—BREAKthrough expansion includes:
Over 160 cards, one of the biggest sets they've had!
6 new Pokémon BREAK featuring a brand-new game mechanic
8 new Pokémon-EX, including 4 Mega Evolution Pokémon
Two new theme decks, Burning Spark and Night Striker, designed to introduce players to the Pokémon TCG
Code cards in theme decks and booster packs that unlock virtual cards from the XY—BREAKthrough expansion for play in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online.
Look for the XY—BREAKthrough expansion in stores and at the PokemonCenter.com starting Nov 4, 2015.
This set has the new BREAK Evolution mechanic, the BREAK evolution cards are similar to evolution cards, but they are placed horizontally onto the card, so they keep their original moves but get additional HP and either abilities or additional moves. Kind of like the old LV. X cards from Diamond & Pearl sets worked, somewhat similar, except the part where you had to be active to play a LV. X. There are 6 BREAK Evolution cards, including Chesnaught BREAK,
Here are the details on the Prerelease!
- Main Event -
Cost: $25 for 6 boosters to build the deck you’ll play in the tournament, plus a special Promo Card for everyone, while supplies last! Plus 2 more packs at the end of the tournament!
Each player will receive 6 booster packs of the new set (to keep) and may start opening their packs when we tell everyone to go. Players will each build their own 40 card deck to play (using only those cards from the 6 packs, no trading cards with others until after the Tourney) and will also decide how many energies they will want to include in their decks (basic energies are provided at the event). Everyone will then have 30 minutes to build their decks, using only the cards from the packs they received. That totally levels the playing field… because from the best player around to the newest youngster there, everyone has an equal chance at this tourney because you never know what cards you’ll get in your packs! That’s what makes it so fun!
And don’t worry, it’s not really that hard to build your own deck… generally there aren’t a whole lot of trainers in a set, so you’ll usually want to include as many of them that will be helpful as you can. You want to make sure you have as many basic Pokemon as you can, and include any evolutions that you might have been lucky enough to get as well. Try to keep your deck to 2 or 3 types, like Fire and Electric or whichever, because that will be helpful to you in drawing the particular energies you need for your Pokemon’s attacks. Of course Colorless type Pokemon can fit nicely into any type of deck since they can use any type of energy you happen to have. Since your deck needs to be 40 cards in total, a relatively simple rule of thumb would be 20 energies and 20 in any combination of basics, their evolutions (if you got any), and trainers. Then, just decide how many of which type of energies you’ll need to get by looking over the energy requirements for your Pokemon’s attacks. And that’s pretty much all there is to it!
Remember, it’s a tournament totally for fun, so don’t stress over building ‘the perfect deck’… just have fun with it! Once the decks are built, the tourney will begin. For this event you play for 4 prizes with 20 minute rounds, and we usually play for 3 rounds. Also keep in mind the spirit of a Prerelease is non-competitive, with no real pressure to win, which is why everyone will receive prize packs at the end. The main thing is to have fun & check out all the new cards!
Prizes: ALL participants who finish will receive 2 more prize packs at the end of the tourney (making a total of 8 packs, PLUS the Promo card)
