TPCi Releases Exclusive Pikachu Promo and Merchandise for NBA Rain City Showcase!

Last night TPCi sponsored a basketball game between the LA Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers. It was held at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena as part of its third annual “Rain City Showcase,” which pits the two teams against each other ahead of the NBA season.

Every attendant received a stamped Pikachu promo inside a Tera Charizard sleeve.

Exclusive merchandise was also sold at the event, including hats and pins.

The Rain City Showcase is a yearly NBA event. Thus, the only opportunity to get the promo was last night.

Strangely, TPCi did not advertise the event on their socials ahead of time. No press releases were sent out either. They only advertised it locally in Seattle.

This is the first time TPCi has sponsored a sporting event in the United States. TPCi’s UK branch previously partnered with the England Football Association to promote Youth Futsal. As part of the collaboration TPCi released five promo cards.
