The long-awaited darkness has officially arrived in Billund! Yesterday, Sunday, July 5th, 32 eager Trainers gathered right here at Nostalgic to get their hands on the brand-new Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution — Pitch Black expansion.
The energy in the room was electric as players cracked open their Build & Battle boxes to discover which Mega Evolutions would anchor their strategies. Between the eerie allure of Mega Darkrai ex and the lightning-fast power of Mega Zeraora ex, the tournament saw some incredible rogue decks and clutch tactical plays over three tense Swiss rounds.
The Final Standings: A Perfect 3-0 Club!
Competition was incredibly tight, but three Trainers managed to navigate the shadows perfectly, walking away with a flawless 3-0 record. Huge congratulations to our top finishers who earned extra prize packs for their stellar performance!
