What this is
The number of events held at Pokémon Card Gym stores in Japan in 2019: about 130,000.
How it’s built
- Stated in a TPC notice on the official Japanese card-game site in March 2020.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
It is a little under half of TPC's figure of about 300,000 a year in 2026, as the network has grown since.
