Pokémon fans in Italy are in for a treat. The Pokémon Company International has announced Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Plaza, a special pop-up event coming to Rome on September 30 and October 1, 2025. This art gallery–inspired experience will showcase the vibrant artwork of Pokémon TCG Pocket in an immersive setting themed around three iconic habitats: beach, mountain desert, and grasslands.
A Gallery Experience for Trainers
At the Pocket Plaza event, visitors can explore the stunning card art of Pokémon TCG Pocket in a gallery-like environment. Activities include a scavenger hunt, a photo spot featuring booster pack artwork, and exclusive insights from Pokémon TCG artists who will share stories behind their in-app creations.
The event takes place at Boscolo Circo Massimo, Via dei Cerchi 87, Rome, and will run from 10:15 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. CEST on both days. Tickets are free of charge and can be reserved through the official Eventbrite page.
