Purchase advance entry into one of the shop's Pokemon TCG: Mega Evolution PERFECT ORDER pre-release events! Both events will be held before the official release date of the set, giving you a chance to check out all of the brand new cards early.

Players will receive 1x Perfect Order Build & Battle kit with entry. At the end of the event, all participants will receive 3x additional Perfect Order booster packs.

Please only purchase entry into the event if you plan on attending since spots are limited and we would like as many participants to be able to join as possible.

In the Prerelease format, players compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. Prerelease is perfect for introducing new Trainers to the exciting world of the Pokémon TCG with quick, fun games, and it gives seasoned Trainers a window into everything Mega Evolution—Perfect Order has to offer. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.

Each Build & Battle Box includes four Mega Evolution—Perfect Order booster packs and a 40-card, ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior expansions, as well as one of four unique foil promo cards. Depending on which promo card you get, you could be playing with the royal Serperior, the handy hero Barbaracle, the tyrannical Tyrantrum, or the sword-flashing Doublade.

The intimidating, yet majestic Lord of the Forest’s Regal Command attack rewards Trainers who keep a full Bench by doing 20 damage for each of your Pokémon in play. While that may be difficult to attain in the early game, Serperior rewards patience—and has direct synergy with Rosa’s Encouragement. With this Supporter card in your discard pile, damage done by Solar Coiling is boosted to 250 total—which spells devastation for many of your opponents in a Prerelease match.

 

 

Keep an eye out for the Forest of Vitality Stadium card, which will help put Serperior into play much faster. Plus, Shaymin can use its Send Flowers attack to find Growing Grass Energy, which you can attach to Serperior to boost its HP by 20. Since Serperior has a lot of late-game utility, a little extra HP will surely be helpful.

We’ve got to hand it to Barbaracle (though arguably it has plenty of those already)—it’s got a rock-solid Ability in Stone Arms to accelerate Fighting type Energy from your hand to one of your Fighting type Pokémon. This makes Barbaracle an integral part of a Mega Zygarde ex deck, since its comparatively high-cost attacks can use all the Energy acceleration they can get.

 

Rocky Fighting Energy is a Fighting-type Pokémon’s best friend—it protects the Pokémon it’s attached to from any effects of the opponent’s attacks. This will keep Barbaracle armed against effects like Klefki’s Memory Lock. Landorus is an addition that opens up some flexibility in your Energy attachment, since its Screw Knuckle attack allows you to put an Energy attached to it back into your hand.

Another Pokémon that benefits greatly from Rocky Fighting Energy is Tyrantrum. Its Tyrannically Gutsy Ability boosts Tyrantrum’s HP from 180 to 330 if it has a Special Energy attached, which makes it a single-Prize tank worthy of a king’s crown.

 

 

To get Tyrantrum to its throne on the battlefield, you need to get Antique Jaw Fossil into play first, so deck-searching Supporter cards like Team Rocket’s Petrel and Drayton are critical inclusions. Tyrantrum’s Wreak Havoc attack allows you to flip a coin until you get tails, discarding the top card of your opponent’s deck for each heads. Enhanced Hammer amps up the chaos by discarding a Special Energy attached to one of your opponent’s Pokémon, disrupting opportunities for counterplay.

In the Prerelease format, there’s no limit to the number of copies of a Pokémon you can have in your deck—so you could include six, maybe seven copies of Honedge, Doublade, or Aegislash to maximize your damage output when Doublade attacks with Weaponized Swords.

 

To help in your endeavor to lay down massive damage, you could use Full Metal Lab from the Scarlet & Violet—Temporal Forces expansion, which will soften the blow of incoming attacks (handy considering Doublade’s fairly low HP). With Ignition Energy from the Scarlet & Violet—White Flare expansion on your side, you can help Doublade get an attack going without any prior Energy attachment needed.

Whether you’re heading to a local game store or just playing with a friend, you’re in for some quick and fun battles with cards from the new Mega Evolution—Perfect Order expansion! If you’re not able to make it to a Prerelease event, these Build & Battle Boxes will be available for purchase when the expansion officially launches.
