Cutoff Crafts’ Pokémon Day Celebration is fast approaching! This Saturday, Feb 28th, Cutoff Crafts is throwing a Pokémon Day Celebration at the Rathdrum Lions Club. Entry is free! The Celebration runs from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Almost every single game is free to play and there are tons of prizes and giveaways throughout the day. In fact, there will be more than $750 worth of prizes that could be given away! Pokémon packs will also be available to purchase and you are more than welcome to bring your trade binder! We will also be luring the stop for any Pokémon Go players.
Here are some of the games that we will be hosting:
Cutoff Crafts’ Pack Battle Tournament
The Pokémon Pack Battle Tournament costs just $10 per ticket, and is the one of the only games requiring a paid entry at the Celebration. Packs are provided by Cutoff Crafts to all participants. Each participant goes head to head against the others in an elimination style tournament! Win, and you move on to the next round. Each player keeps every single card they rip… and the ultimate winner gets a sealed Surging Sparks Elite Trainer Box.
Of course, this is the 30th year anniversary of Pokémon… so let’s up the stakes! Not only does the winner get a sealed Surging Sparks ETB, but we will add more prizes to the prize pool as more people join!
- Level 1: One set of black star promo cards is added to the prize pool
- Level 2: One random Japanese booster pack is added to the prize pool
- Level 3: One random Pokémon Mini Tin is added to the prize pool
- Level 4: One sealed Greninja ex and Kingdra ex Special Collection Box is added to the prize pool

Fact or Fake
Everyone Explode Now! Is it a real move on a card? Or a fake one? That’s right, it’s real! In fact, it is a move that both Forretress and Drifblim can use. There are over 18,000 different English pokémon cards that have been made. Each pokemon from the TCG has one or two moves. These moves have very unique names, some of which are quite silly. The goal of Fact or Fake? is to decipher which move names are real and which have been made up by Cutoff Crafts. If a player gets their question right, they move on to the next round. Get a single question wrong, and the player is eliminated! The final winner gets a fun Ditto V to take home.
Sleeve Extravaganza
Pokémon fans know protecting their cards is pretty important. A great way to do that is to sleeve the cards so that they don’t get damaged as easily. Sleeve Extravaganza puts players’ sleeving skills to the test! It’s also a fantastic way to walk home with a ton of new cards! Cutoff Crafts will be providing stacks of pokémon cards and tons of official sleeves. Players go head to head in an elimination style tournament. Players have to sleeve their cards faster than their opponent. Each card they sleeve they get to keep. Fail to keep up and you still get to keep every single card you have sleeved. Winners of each round move on to play the next. The grand prize is a full art Blissey V from Chilling Reign.
Trivia
Do you know what color Pikachu is? Yep, he’s yellow. Cutoff Crafts has a whole new batch of Trivia questions ready for players to test their knowledge. Throughout the day, someone from Cutoff Crafts will approach players with trivia questions ranging from very easy all the way to super hard. Get the question right and the player gets a brand new pokémon card for their collection. Prize cards can be reverse holo, holo, ex, V, GX, or even a black star promo!
Pokeball Surprise
A bucket full of mini-pokeballs! Every single pokeball has a number inside of it. Players draw a pokeball and take it over to the prize counter. The number inside will match a ticketed prize. Prizes could include cards, booster packs, posters, swag, and more! Pokeball Surprise is open to absolutely everyone present, entirely for free.
HP Battle
Two players go head to head in a sudden death style tournament. Cards are provided face down on the table. Both players randomly draw a Pokémon card. The one with the highest hit points stays, to fight the next challenger. The one who failed still gets to keep their drawn Pokémon card. In the end, the last person standing wins the prize - a gold Duraladon VMAX from Silver Tempest. The longer a person can stay at the table, the more cards they can win… but the more likely they are to be stricken down and have someone take their place.
MORE GAMES
There will be tons of other games including: Find Pikachu; Energy Match; Don’t Say Pokéball; Guess the Pokémon In The Pokéball; Fire, Water, Grass; Coloring Contests; Pokémon Word Scramble; and Who’s That Pokémon? This is our fifth time hosting a Pokémon Celebration and we are so excited for this one! If you are able to come over to Rathdrum, Idaho, on February 28th and you like Pokémon, come on by!
