About
#

The 2009 Beat of the Frontier Release Commemoration Tournament, part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Challenge Hiroba events in Japan, was held to celebrate the release of the Beat of the Frontier expansion (released in English as Supreme Victors) on March 6, 2009. These events were designed to promote the Pokémon TCG by hosting tournaments in large public venues like shopping malls and department stores, increasing accessibility and awareness compared to the more traditional Pokémon Card Gym events held in hobby shops.

Participation and performance in the tournaments were rewarded with exclusive promotional cards

• Participation Prize: All participants received a SP Energy card (cosmos holofoil). Some locations also distributed a Pikachu cosmos holofoil card, which had previously been awarded at the Battle Road 2008 events. This was likely due to leftover stock from the prematurely canceled Battle Road 2008.

• One Win: Players who won at least one match received a Battle Tower card (cosmos holofoil, DPt-P Promotional print) stamped with the Beat of the Frontier expansion logo on the bottom right of the illustration. This card was part of the Supreme Victors expansion in English.

• Two Wins: Players achieving two wins were awarded a Dragonite FB (Frontier Brain’s) card (cosmos holofoil, DPt-P Promotional print), also stamped with the Beat of the Frontier expansion logo. This card was a notable prize for its rarity and connection to the Frontier Brains theme.

• Winner: Winners of the tournament would receive a Drifblim card, also stamped with the set’s logo.
