What Pokemon cards are allowed in tournaments?
In Pokemon TCG tournaments, you can only use cards that are legal in the current format. The formats mainly include Standard and Expanded. Standard allows cards from the most recent sets, typically the last couple of years of releases, while Expanded includes a wider range of cards. Make sure to check the latest rules and banned card list on the official Pokemon website before you assemble your deck!

Rip those proxies and homemade cards; they鈥檙e a no-go at official events. Stick to the real deal and you鈥檙e golden.
Just remember, no fake cards allowed! Only official Pokemon TCG cards can enter the fray in tournaments. And keep an eye on those banned lists; they're updated regularly.
Honestly, it all boils down to the tournament's format. I played in a Standard format tourney last month and had to ditch some of my favorites because they were from older sets. Always double-check your deck with the latest format rules.
