Bring your deck and your Trainer spirit to Pokémon Showdown Night at Purple Dragon Games! Each Showdown features a different Pokémon and its own special theme, giving our community a fresh reason to gather, battle, and celebrate the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Enjoy an evening of friendly competition where you can put your strategies into action, meet other Pokémon fans, and share the excitement of a well-played match.

Showdown Night welcomes both new players and seasoned Trainers. If you’re still learning, you’ll find a friendly community ready to help you understand the flow of play, answer questions, and build confidence at the table. Experienced players can enjoy testing their decks, meeting new opponents, and sharing what they’ve learned. We want every player to feel comfortable asking questions, celebrating their progress, and enjoying a good battle together. Good sportsmanship and encouragement are part of what makes our Pokémon community special.

Players should bring their own Pokémon TCG decks, ready to play against fellow Trainers. Our game leader will guide the evening’s activities and explain what players need to know before the battles begin. Each event offers opportunities to learn something new about your deck, discover creative strategies, and make friends who are just as excited about Pokémon as you are.

Entry is $10 per player and includes free pizza and prize packs, with additional prize support available during the event. Take a break between battles, enjoy a slice, and get to know the people across the table! All players must have a Play! Pokémon account and complete registration to participate. New to organized play? We can help you set up your account and get registered. Please arrive early if you need assistance so we can help you get ready before play begins. Whether you’re bringing your first deck or a longtime favorite, there’s a place for you at Pokémon Showdown Night!

Sawsbuck’s Autumn Charge

Saturday, November 7, 2026 | 4:00–8:00 PM

Entry: $10 per player—Round Table pizza included!

The seasons are changing, and every Trainer must be ready to adapt! Bring your own Pokémon TCG deck or build one inspired by autumn, changing types, switching strategies, healing, evolution, or Pokémon that thrive through every season. During Sawsbuck’s Autumn Charge, players will enjoy friendly battles while discovering optional challenges inspired by spring, summer, autumn, and winter. As the seasons shift throughout the evening, new opportunities may appear. You might be challenged to fill your Bench, successfully retreat, heal one of your Pokémon, power up an unexpected attacker, or recover after the battle suddenly turns against you.

Players can also help complete a shared autumn display by earning leaves through battles, achievements, encouragement, and good sportsmanship. Every contribution helps the whole group move closer to community milestones and additional prize opportunities.

You do not need to win every match to succeed. This Showdown rewards creativity, adaptability, friendly play, and discovering new possibilities within your deck. New Trainers can enjoy straightforward battles, while experienced players can pursue more unusual seasonal achievements.

Come play and discover what happens when the season changes in the middle of your strategy! Prize card packs will be awarded during the event.
