Minnacon 2015 Pokemon Gym Circuit(ORAS/XY)

This time around, face off against the six Regional Champions, with modified teams ready to showcase the best of each Region’s Pokemon, from Gary “Smell ya later!” Oak to Diantha, Queen of Fairies herself! Just as in last year’s Gym Circuit, this will be a full-scale event, complete with special badges, all designed exclusively for the Minnacon Gym Circuit.

The first 20 Trainers to complete the circuit will receive an additional special commemorative badge!

Participating in the Gym Circuit is $8, inclusive of an entry ticket into the Minnacon festivities. Each Trainer will be given their own personalized trainer card, which will also double as your entry ticket, as proof of entry. You will have to present your trainer card at each gym to qualify to win a badge.

Come on down, and prove your strength against the six Regional Champions!
