A Pokémon League gathering for ages 6 and up welcomes players of all skill levels. Activities focus on younger participants ages 6 to 13. Children are encouraged to bring a smartphone or tablet for Pokémon Go, a Nintendo Switch, or Pokémon trading cards for trading or battling.

Labeling all Pokémon items and toys before arrival is recommended to help prevent loss or theft. No registration is required.
