New Chinese Charizard 038/SV-P promo released

By the time you asked there was no answer since the officials didn’t announce any distribution counts for the Traditional Chinese copies. However, now that the event has officially ended in all regions except Indonesia, we can get an estimate from the tournament rules and all tournaments registered on the official Trainers Website.

Here are the shortcuts to list all tournaments registered on the official Trainers Website:

The rules of tournaments held in Taiwan and Hong Kong stated that:

  • Players who won 3 straight games receive the card
  • For every 16 players participating in a tournament, a randomly-drawn player (who didn’t win 3 straight) will also receive the card

So for example a 32-player tournament will give out 32 / (2 ^ 3) + 32 / 16 = 6 copies. By adding up all players from the 356 tournaments in Taiwan and 192 tournaments in Hong Kong, we get an estimate of 2634 Traditional Chinese copies being handed out.

As for Thailand and Indonesia, the two regions had far less tournaments (around 50 each) scheduled and stricter requirements to (only winners of the entire tournament can) receive a copy, so the announced numbers of 50 copies each are no joke.

But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to get one, right? :sunglasses:
