Find out which cards will be permitted in the Standard format in the 2017 Pokémon TCG tournament season.

In the interest of maintaining a healthy tournament environment, Pokémon Organized Play begins each new tournament season by removing older expansions from Standard format competition. Each annual rotation challenges existing players to create new strategies while enabling new players to get involved in Play! Pokémon events with minimal investment.

The 2017 Play! Pokémon season starts on July 11, 2016, so players can start working toward an invitation to the 2017 Pokémon World Championships. However, the format rotation will not occur until September 1, 2016. Importantly, this means that the 2016 Pokémon World Championships will use the 2016 format and rules as currently listed, rather than the new Standard format for 2017. Be sure to check out our first analysis for what this means for current competitive play.

For the list of eligible expansions for the Standard and Expanded formats, check out http://www.pokemon.c...ation-for-2017/

 

 
Prepare for the 2017 Standard Format Rotation!

Every year, the Pokémon TCG rotation phases some older expansions out of the Standard format. Some decks fade away, some have to adapt, and some become even stronger. For the 2017 Play! Pokémon season, we say goodbye to XY—Kalos Starter Set through XY—Phantom Forces, meaning that XY—Primal Clash and beyond will be Standard legal. Let's take a look at some changes to expect as the new tournament season gets under way.

 

Guess what that means? No more Night March decks! Even Trevenant shut down decks will be rotated out. Maybe we'll see some interesting deck varieties pop up!

 

I'm particularly looking forward to strategies using the new Captivating Poké Puff!

 
 
Expanded Format
 
Unlike the Standard format, the 2017 Expanded format will remain unchanged. With each passing year, these two formats will look more and more different, creating two distinct, exciting environments for the Pokémon TCG. The Expanded format will be monitored aggressively, and any cards that are deemed unhealthy for that environment may be removed.

As more Pokémon TCG expansions are released, we'll keep track of which new strategies emerge and which old ones are able to adapt here at Pokemon.com/Strategy. The upcoming season's Standard format is sure to look quite different from the previous one. Exciting times are ahead, Trainers! Good luck coming up with your next deck!

As of September 1, 2015, Shiftry will be banned from all sanctioned Play! Pokémon tournaments that use the Expanded format. This card has created an undesirable play environment because it:

• Creates a strategy that frequently wins on the first turn of the game

• Creates a non-interactive play environment where the opponent has little impact on the outcome of the match

Shiftry's previous Evolutions, Seedot (XY—Flashfire, 5/106) and Nuzleaf (XY—Flashfire, 6/106), are Grass-type Pokémon, so it's possible to evolve to Shiftry in one turn using the Forest of Giant Plants (XY—Ancient Origins, 74/98) Stadium card. With the help of Devolution Spray (Black & White—Dragons Exalted,113/124), Super Scoop Up (XY—Furious Fists, 100/111), and Recycle (Black & White—Emerging Powers, 96/98), players can use the Giant Fan Ability repeatedly to get rid of all of the opponent's Pokémon—and win the game in one turn.

The Giant Fan strategy works consistently enough to cause concern. Frequent first-turn wins are a sign of an unhealthy play environment, and the Shiftry deck is capable of doing that a high percentage of the time. Since Shiftry has a clearly negative effect on the Expanded format, we feel that the best option is to ban it from that environment.

 

This card has been effectively banned from the Expanded format within the Pokémon TCG Online as well. It will be valid in the Unlimited format, however with the following display issue:

 

 

Black & White—Next Destinies

Shiftry (#72): The banned circle with an x symbol displays on the card in the Unlimited format. The card is valid in Unlimited, but banned from the Expanded format.

 

Shiftry will still be in collations; that is to say, if you are opening Black & White—Next Destinies booster packs you may still obtain the card from them.  
 
Shiftry will continue to be tradeable, for those with tradeable versions of the card.

On Wednesday, February 17, 2016 the Pokémon TCG Online PC and Mac client was updated to version 2.34.1. Changes in this version include:

Today’s build introduces features that accelerate the rate at which players earn Trainer Tokens and booster packs, and provide players that participate in real world tournaments with a handy tool for tracking the contents of their decks.

Daily Login Bonus
This new feature gives provides a bonus for playing the Pokémon TCG Online regularly. It consists of a track designed to help new players get started in the game, and a track that provides recurring bonuses for existing players.

New Player
Day 1 – Basic Orange PvP Deck
Day 2 – 25 Trainer Tokens
Day 3 – 5 non-tradable booster packs, selected randomly from Modified-legal expansions

Existing Player
Day 1-4 – 15 Trainer Tokens
Day 5 – 1 non-tradable booster pack, selected randomly from Modified-legal expansions

Each bonus unlocks 24 hours after receiving the previous bonus and does not require the player to log in on consecutive days to maintain progress on the track. Once a player completes the introductory New Player track they are migrated to the recurring Existing Player track. There is no limit to the number of times a player can complete the Existing Player track, as they are cycled back to the beginning of the track after receiving the bonus for the fifth day!

To ensure that existing players can take full advantage of this new feature, all players will be started on the New Player track, regardless of previous activity within the game.

Daily Match Bonus
The first match that a player completes each day awards 10 Trainer Tokens, in addition to any other rewards from that match. The match must last a reasonable amount of time before this bonus is applied.

Printable Decklists
The Pokémon TCG Online is a great way to test a deck for an upcoming Play! Pokémon event. Once a deck is perfected, a decklist can be printed out, with the same layout used at all of the big tournaments, including the Pokémon TCG World Championships!

If you experience a problem with the new build, please check the Known Card Bugs and Known Game Bugs threads first. If your issue doesn’t appear in that list, please post it in the Open Beta & Support forums or go to the Pokémon Support Portal to notify us of the issue.

Thanks for your continued support!

On Monday, June 27, the 2.371 client update went live on all platforms.  This update included the following fix:

 

Gameplay

• Users are now able to select more than 1 copy of the same card, when there are multiple copies of a card from the same set with different foil effects in the user's deck.

On December 2nd the Pokémon TCG Online game server was updated.  Part of this update was implementing the below bug fix:
 
General Change:

• Corrected an issue with game data that was causing a crash in the Tutorial for machines using Intel 4x00 HD video hardware. 

We want to update Pokémon TCG Online players with details of how the ban of Lysandre's Trump Card will be implemented.
 
In the TCG Online, Lysandre's Trump Card will be banned from play in the Standard and Expanded formats.  The card will still be allowed in the Unlimited format.
 
Lysandre's Trump Card will still be in collations; that is to say, if you are opening XY-Phantom Forces booster packs you may still obtain the card from them.  
 
Lysandre's Trump Card will continue to be tradeable, for those with tradeable versions of the card.

In the TCG Online, the ban will go into effect at 12 Noon Pacific on Monday, June 15.

Duplicating a post from this thread:

Hey everyone!

The build that just went live (with no server downtime, woohoo!) fixes a bunch of issues, as listed in the Patch Notes. We just wanted to let everyone know a couple of additional things in anticipation of updating the game:

• When PC players are patching up to 26.1, there may be several minutes when the refresher is patching where it may look like the updater is stalled. However, this is to be expected. We ask for your patience as your game works on updating itself.
• Mac users will have to download the 26.1 installer from the Download page, as this latest build addresses the "damaged file" error and requires a fresh installer.

​We are happy to be able to improve the Pokémon TCG Online's gameplay experience continuously by hearing the community's feedback and reports. Thanks for all you do and keep that feedback coming!

General: Various fixes to card bugs and game bugs.

Chat: A notification icon no longer appears when activity occurs in a public lobby while the Social Corner menu is minimized.

Collection: Trade tag colors have been updated to improve ease of use.

Gameplay: Rewards for completing a Ranked match in Versus Mode or any match in Tournament Mode now include a spin on the Bonus Wheel. This new feature provides users with an opportunity to receive additional Trainer Tokens and Tournament Tickets, or a special Mystery Gift that changes periodically!

Notifications: Multiple notifications can now be cleared in a single action.

Shop: Code cards from the Kalos Power Tin, Pyroar Box, and Krookodile-EX Box can be redeemed in the Shop.

Trade: A screen name search box is now present when creating a Private Trade offer.

Trade: Users searching Public Trade offers can now filter the results to show only offers that contain booster packs.

Trade: Users searching Public Trade offers can now search by card title or by expansion name.

Trainer Challenge: Modifications have been made to some of the decks used by Trainer Challenge opponents.

Trainer Challenge: A progress animation is now played at the end of all Trainer Challenge matches.

Beginning with the November 8th game update, players who opened an Explosive Edge theme deck received the incorrect distribution of Energy cards. Today's server update fixes this issue for those players and prevents a similar issue from occurring for new Explosive Edge theme deck redemptions.

In addition to the new features added yesterday, I wanted to call out some bug fixes and known issues with this build.

Unobtainable Cards Removed
When Show All was selected in the card filter, a number of unobtainable cards were displayed to the player. The bulk of these cards fell into one of two categories; either no code exists which unlocks that card or that version of the card does not actually exist (for example, a parallel Holo version of Celebi-EX). The inclusion of these cards in the game prevented players from reaching 100% completion status for some expansions, even though all of the obtainable cards from those expansions were present in the player’s collection. Thanks to the efforts of a member of the community, we were able to identify all of these cards and remove from the game during yesterday’s maintenance.

Players were able to obtain a handful of these cards through various means. When we removed them from the game, we ran a script that replaced them with correct version of the card. This script took several hours to run. Alter the contents of custom decks would have added many more hours to this process, so we felt it best to omit this step. Unfortunately, this means that some players may find that they have to manually add the replaced cards back into their decks before they can be used.

NOTE: The non-holo Venomoth from the Verdant Frost theme deck was mistakenly removed from the game, making that deck ineligible for every Play Type. We are working to correct the issue.

Missing Beta Rewards
As discussed in this thread, players who had participated in the web-based version of the game were eligible to receive the first round of Beta Rewards. With the help of reports from the community, we were able to identify a common link between accounts that were eligible but never received these items. We addressed the error in the script and ran it again yesterday, excluding accounts that received the initial wave of Beta Rewards.

Printable Decklist
The initial implementation of the Print Decklist feature has plenty of opportunity for improvement. We’ve already provided the following feedback to the development team.

• The expansion abbreviation to the right of a Pokémon’s name does not match the official expansion abbreviation.
• Spacing on the numbers in the Coll. # column is too cramped.
• The decklist cannot scale to accommodate more than 15 unique Pokémon or Trainer cards, or 7 unique Energy cards.
• Functionally identical cards with different collector numbers are not combined into a single entry.
• The Basic/Special designation in the Energy section should be a check mark, rather than a Yes/No.
• The decklist cannot be printed while fewer than 60 cards are in the deck, preventing players from printing a partially completed decklist and manually filling in cards which are not present in the online game.

Other Bug Fixes
The Known Card Bugs and Known Game Bugs threads have been updated to reflect the bug fixes for this build. Be sure to swing by and check them out!
