This year for East, we’ll be continuing to use a webapp system in order for you to track your badge progress virtually, see which Leaders are available, and a bunch of other neat stuff.
Rules:
Here’s the current ruleset for PPL at PAX East 2026!
We will be using Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch as the main method of battling. A small number of Leaders may have non-Switch related Challenges. (Leader Reveals start closer to PAX!)

Leader Meetup Times / Where do I find Gym Leaders?
You’ll regularly see Gym Leaders hanging out around the Handheld Lounge, but Leader Meetup times are
specific times when a large number of Leaders gather to take challengers. If you’re missing some badges, this would be the best time to guarantee lots of
leaders will be around!
Our Leader Meetup Times:
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday:
1:00pm – 3:00pm in the Handheld Lounge
Prizes and Side Activities:
In addition to earning real-life Gym Badges, you can earn some other prizes too! To be updated soon!
