Big news for Pokémon Trainers, collectors, and the local TCG community — Magic Chest is now officially recognized as a Play! Pokémon Store.
This marks a huge milestone for our team and our community as we continue building one of the most exciting destinations for Pokémon fans, trading card players, and collectors in Canada.
For years, Magic Chest has been known for bringing together Pokémon fans through collectibles, sealed products, tournaments, vending experiences, and community events. Becoming an official Play! Pokémon location now allows us to take that experience to the next level with officially sanctioned Pokémon events and organized play opportunities.
What Is Play! Pokémon?
Play! Pokémon is the official organized play program created by The Pokémon Company International. It supports local game stores and communities by hosting sanctioned events where Trainers can battle, compete, and connect with other Pokémon fans.
As an official Play! Pokémon Store, Magic Chest can now host:
- Official Pokémon TCG tournaments
- Pokémon League events
- Special promotional events
- Championship Point events
- Pre-release tournaments
- Community-focused Pokémon gatherings
Whether you’re a competitive player chasing Championship Points or a casual fan learning the game for the first time, there will be events for every skill level.
Building A Pokémon Community
At Magic Chest, this isn’t just about tournaments.
It’s about creating a real community hub where Pokémon fans can meet, trade, play, and share their passion together.
We’ve seen firsthand how powerful the Pokémon community is — from longtime collectors to kids opening their very first booster pack. Becoming an official Play! Pokémon Store allows us to create even more memorable experiences for everyone who walks through our doors.
Our goal is simple:
Make Magic Chest one of the best Pokémon destinations in Canada.
What To Expect Next
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be rolling out:
- Weekly Pokémon League nights
- Official tournament schedules
- Pokémon TCG Learn-to-Play sessions
- Exclusive Play! Pokémon promos
- Special event announcements
- Community trading nights
- Competitive events for serious players
We’ll also be expanding our Pokémon inventory across singles, sealed products, graded cards, accessories, and collectibles.
Thank You To The Community
None of this would be possible without the incredible support from our customers, collectors, players, families, and local community.
Every booster pack opened, every trade made, every event attended, and every shared memory helped make this possible.
This is only the beginning.
The next chapter of Magic Chest starts now — and we’re excited to build it together with all of you.
Stay tuned for our official Play! Pokémon event announcements.
