Geographical restrictions apply: only eligible countries and players are locked in the country of residence / players in the U.S. are locked into their state.
Playoffs will begin after the Qualifiers in the Standard Format following a Team vs Team Structure within a Single Elimination Bracket. The Team representing each Play! Pokémon Store in the Playoffs will be composed by the winners of each one of their 4 Qualifier events. Team Challenge culminates in a Grand Final between the top two Store Teams.

Pokémon Store in the third iteration of the Play! Pokémon Team Challenge, an opportunity to hang out with the Pokémon community online, TCGO codes, playmats, and more!
