FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Player ID?

Each player is assigned a Play! Pokémon Identification Number (Player ID) that is used to track that player’s tournament play and League participation and to identify them in our system. Players must have this number with them whenever they attend a Play! Pokémon event. If you don’t already have a Player ID, the organizer of your next Play! Pokémon event will give you one. You can also get a Player ID online if you already have a Pokémon Trainer Club account.

I have no Player ID. Can I get one online?

Yes, just follow this link here. Alternative you can get one on-site at the Event.

I forgot my player ID. Where can I find it?

If you received a player ID via your Pokémon Trainer Club Account or you connected your ID online, you can login at pokemon.com and see your Player ID in your profile.

Which Format will be played?

The TCG tournament is played in Standard. The Video Game Tournament Format will be played with Sword & Shield on the Nintendo Switch. More information can be found here.
