Read MoreWe have gotten a look at most of the new cards from Pokemon’s newest set releasing November 8th (TCG Live on November 7th). Surging Sparks will be one of the largest set releases in Pokemon history, with over 250 cards expected, including cards from the Japanese set Paradise Dragona and the soon to be released Japanese set Supercharged Breaker. The later set, which has a heavy focus on lightning-type Pokemon and support, also influenced the name of this set. Expect to see quite a few Dragon-type and Lightning-type Pokemon and support for those typings in this set!
Plus, we get a Terra Pikachu EX!!!!
We have been diligently collecting results from across the country in order to keep up with the standings of all 3 divisions across Australia. Pokemon.com has now published the official leaderboards for the 2024-25 Season and that should be your first source of truth for all information related to the standings in Oceania.
Moving forward we will be using these leaderboards to report on the standings each month. When the season ends only the Top 20 Masters, Top 10 Seniors and Top 10 Juniors (Excluding all automatic qualifiers) will be chosen to represent the Oceania region at the world championships.
