What to look for

League or organised play on the calendar

A shop running league is a shop with a community, which is the thing that actually makes a local shop worth having. Check our events listings.

Somebody who can explain formats to a newcomer

Ask which format the local league plays and whether a starter deck is enough to join. The quality of that answer tells you a lot.

The rest is on the pokémon page, along with the questions worth asking before you hand over a collection.
