The official Pokémon Trading Card Game website announced on October 30 the upcoming large-scale competitive event, the "Pokémon Trading Card Game Scramble Battle Kagawa." The Solo Battle for individual participants will be held on Saturday, December 26, and the Trio Battle for teams of three on Sunday, December 27, at Sunmesse Kagawa in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. Admission is free, and only those selected through the advance lottery can participate in the main event and merchandise sales.

Registration Deadline November 16 at 2 PM, Results on November 19

| Item | Details | |---|---| | Schedule | Solo Battle: Saturday, December 26 / Trio Battle: Sunday, December 27 | | Time | 9:30 - 19:30, Last Entry 15:00 (Entry times vary by group) | | Venue | Sunmesse Kagawa (Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture) | | Admission Fee | Free (Open League) | | Application Period | October 30 (Fri) 14:00 - November 16 (Mon) 14:00 (Japan time) | | Lottery Results | Around November 19 (Thu) 14:00 | | Tournament Registration Deadline | December 25 (Fri) 14:00 |

Applications must be submitted separately by date via the Players Club event search. Winners of both days may participate in both, and entries are limited to one per event day. For the Trio Battle, only the team captain enters, but must input the agreement of teammates and the Player IDs of all three members. The Solo Battle features a "Friends Application" option allowing 2 to 5 people to receive the same lottery outcome, with the same application period as the main entry.

Participation requires a Player ID and the tournament platform "Sekanavi," which requires the LINE app. Winners must add the official LINE account "Pokéca Real-Time Swiss Draw Management" as a friend and complete their profile registration by the deadline to finish "Tournament Registration." Notices state that tablets and similar devices cannot be used to participate. Participants under 18 require parental consent for Players Club registration and entry.

Up to 7 Rounds of Real-Time Swiss Draw, Prizes Include Logo Energy Cards and Stickers

Both days utilize a smartphone-matched "Real-Time Swiss Draw" system. Matches follow the Standard Regulation 60-card deck, 1-game wins, 6 prize cards, no time limit per match, and up to 7 rounds, with an automatic drop after 4 losses. Decks can be changed between matches. In the Trio Battle, teams face off, and the team with two wins takes the match; if the team score is tied, the captains decide via rock-paper-scissors. Matching is available from 9:30 to 18:30 on both days.

| Category | Solo Battle | Trio Battle | |---|---|---| | Participation Prize | 2 Logo Energy Cards | 2 Logo Energy Cards per person | | 1+ Rounds Played | 1 entry for "Pokéca Lottery" per round played | 1 entry per person per team round | | 4 Wins | 1 Fighting Spirit Sticker + 2 Logo Energy Cards | Same composition per person | | 7 Wins | 1 Undefeated Sticker | 1 per person |

The Pokéca Lottery costs 600 yen (tax included) per draw, with the grand prize being a bundle of 30 expansion packs. It is divided into "Standard," featuring expansions released from 2024 onward, and "Extra," featuring expansions from 2023 and earlier, with Extra limited to one draw per person. Merchandise sales include Scramble Battle design deck shields (64 cards, for 889 yen). Both the lottery and merchandise can only be purchased after dropping from the event, and cash is not accepted.

Same Format as August Osaka, No Announcement for Korean Hosting

Previously announced on the official website, the "Scramble Battle Osaka" (announced on June 26, 2026) followed a similar schedule, held across two days on Saturday, August 15 (Solo) and Sunday, August 16 (Trio) at Intex Osaka Hall 6. It shared the same rules as the Kagawa event: free admission, advance application system, 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM schedule with a 3:00 PM last entry, and up to 7 rounds with a 4-loss drop rule. The "Scramble Battle Aichi," held on February 28 and March 1, introduced a first-come, first-served additional recruitment for an "Individual Participation Slot" in the Trio Battle starting January 30 (where solo entrants could be formed into a three-person team on-site), but the Kagawa announcement contains no such provision for individual slots.

Korean readers should also note the requirements. Entering requires a Japanese Players Club Player ID and LINE-based Sekanavi, and the announcements contain no information regarding overseas residents participating or equivalent events being hosted in Korea. Participation prizes such as logo energy cards and stickers are currently announced solely as on-site distribution items, and no evidence has been confirmed that they will be released as Korean-edition products.
