Pokémon Battle Lab – Free Learn-to-Play Event at Tistaminis

Saturday, February 28th, 2026 at 12:30 PM

Tistaminis is excited to host a completely free Pokémon Battle Lab event — the perfect way for new and returning players to learn the Pokémon Trading Card Game in a fun, relaxed, beginner-friendly environment. Play Lab is an official Pokémon program designed to teach the basics of the game step-by-step, making it easy for anyone to jump in, start playing, and build confidence.

At this event, every participant will receive a free Pokémon demo deck to use during the session and take home afterward. Our staff will guide players through the fundamentals of the game, including how cards work, how turns flow, how to attack, and how to win a match. The goal is to make learning simple, hands-on, and enjoyable, whether you’ve never played before or you’re just looking to refresh your skills.

Pokémon Play Lab focuses on creating a supportive, welcoming learning space with no pressure or competition. Players will sit down with a demo deck, walk through the rules at their own pace, and experience a short, easy game to understand how battles work. It’s a fantastic opportunity for younger players, families, and anyone curious about the Pokémon TCG to get started without needing to bring cards or previous experience.

Join us at Tistaminis on February 28th at 12:30 PM, learn the game from the ground up, meet other new players, and take home your free demo deck to continue your Pokémon adventure. This event is free to attend, open to all ages, and perfect for anyone wanting to explore the world of Pokémon in a friendly and welcoming setting.
