Pokémon Club attendees can learn, play, and connect through the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) and other activities designed for their age range.

Pokémon Clubs can be especially effective at engaging students who may not participate in traditional extracurricular activities, offering them a safe and welcoming space to connect with peers and explore their interests. They also support many schools’ efforts to reduce screen time and promote face-to-face student interaction.
*Pokémon Club aims to be inclusive and welcoming to all young players, regardless of their skill level or familiarity with Pokémon. Pokémon Club is not intended to be competitive. It will be a space exclusively for casual play and learning. Trading Pokémon cards is not part of this program. RPL is not responsible for lost, stolen, or traded items.
