Our expert TCG player will teach you how to play the Pokémon trading card game. We’ll even provide the decks. After the lesson, you can test your skills in a battle to defeat a Gigantamax or Dynamax Boss Pokémon!

Photobooth

To celebrate the Pokémon League’s 10th anniversary we have created a special photobooth, complete with photographer, for you to have your photo taken!

If you donate to MEOW Foundation, we’ll swap to an Instax camera so you can walk away with a physical photo souvenir!

Pokémon Stadium

Relax in the Pokémon League’s gaming corner with some Pokémon Stadium! Play against fellow attendees to find out who is truly the very best.

Rental Battles

Battle with a variety of teams crafted by our rental battle techs, each team is unique and fun to play with. This is perfect for folks who want to battle without concerning themselves with the intricacies of team building!

Stuffie Stitching

Many Pokémon trainers go through the hassle of going out to catch their partners, but why not make your partner instead? Join your friends and fellow Pokémon fans as you select a pattern of your favourite Pokémon and stitch them together by hand! All ages and skill levels are welcome as volunteers will demonstrate and assist with the sewing techniques needed to make your very own partner for you to take home!

Spaces are limited, so pre-registration is required. Pre-register in the Otafest Pokémon League room before the panel and be early! Spots are first come first served and we run out quickly.

Team Building Workshop

If you’re into team building but need a extra little push, ask one of our expert Pokémon trainers to help you craft a team or even work with your current team to help defeat our league!
