What is a Pokemon Trading Card Game Prerelease Event?

While judging our Twilight Masquerade prerelease, I figured it was the perfect time to make a video on what these events are all about!

[@gobodat]

Great video! The script was good I thought it flowed very well. And your explanations are so detailed that I’m inspired to go to my first prerelease next set!

[@PokeDubzTCG]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I absolutely love to hear that, and I can't wait to hear how it goes!!

[@Dresden_Nova]

As tweeted, I have questions
1) Are all the cards in the prebuilt deck from the current set, standard legal, or just "yeah, these are good for beginners" cards?
2) What's the rarity breakdown for the prebuilt deck?
3) If you get an EX or some other good card you want to throw in that's not one of the colors the deck came with, is there a communal pile of basic energy, or if you get like. Teal Ogerpon EX but no grass energy, are you just locked out of playing her?

[@PokeDubzTCG]

These are all super good questions!
1) All of the Pokemon should usually be from the new set being featured, but all the rest of the cards are standard legal. A lot of the trainers will be reprints from other sets, but yeah, it'll all be legal for standard play!
2) Rarest card in the prebuilt deck will be the pre release promo featured in the front, then there will usually be a few non-foil rares in there as well. If that's what you meant by that?
3) Yes! This is actually an important part that I accidentally left out - there will be extra energy cards provided by the shop the pre release is being held at!

@@PokeDubzTCG I guess I don't know how the rarities for the TCG go beyond Common/Uncommon/Rare. Do we have Super Rares/Secret Rares? Is a normal rare the rarest thing in the pre-built box not counting the promo?
