Hi everyone,
I really enjoy playing Pokémon TCG Pocket, but the current schedule between Ranked seasons leaves a noticeable gap. Waiting a full month just to jump back into a competitive environment feels a bit too long for active players.
To keep the game engaging between official seasons, I'd like to suggest two features:
Off-Season Ranked Mode
A continuous ladder or matchmaking mode that runs during the downtime between official ranked season. I know there is a "competitive mode" but it doesn't matter which mode you pick,since you don't get anything out of it—players don't take it seriously and just concede. You should get points or something like that.


In-Game Tournament System:
Adding small, recurring tournament formats (e.g., 8-player knockouts, daily Swiss-style rounds, or weekend cups). This would give players a structured competitive goal during off-peak times and allow us to put our deckbuilding skills to the test.
Both features would greatly boost player retention during the downtime between seasons and keep the community active every day.
What are your thoughts? Would you like to see something like this implemented?

    There is already a competitive queue in random battles.

    You don't get anything out of it, except of testing new decks. Once you tested every deck it's just boring. There is no point to grind the random mode.

    Indeed… calling that random mode "competitive" is a bit of a stretch.
