How Season 2 compares with Season 1

	Great Ball League Season 1	Great Ball League Season 2
Events	5, on October 3–4	6, from November 21 to 30
Venues	Stores in Taguig, Quezon City, Pasig, Angeles City and Mandaue City	Stores in Manila, Makati, Quezon City, Imus and Cebu City
Entry fee	₱500	₱500 (one page doesn’t list a fee)
Seats	448 in total	336 in total

Season 2 spreads out over more dates but has fewer seats in total, so the 32-seat stops could fill quickly. Season 1 had a stop in Mandaue City in Metro Cebu; this time the Cebu stop is at Play2Learn in Ayala Center Cebu, Cebu City.

The calendar listings don’t mention prizes or how the series connects to the Premier Ball League at SMX Manila on January 16, 2027. We’ll add those details if Pokémon Asia publishes them.

What it means for players in the Philippines

Great Ball League events are smaller and cheaper than the Ultra Ball League mall events, which makes them a natural next step after GYM Battles. A few tips:

1. Register early. The first deadline is Saturday, November 14 for Japstore, and the stops in Malate, Imus and Cebu have only 32 seats each.
2. Check each page. Every event has its own page and its own deadline, so sign up for each stop separately.
3. Format: every stop is Standard. For the newest cards, see our Delta Reign products guide.
4. Visayas players: the Play2Learn stop in Cebu City on November 30 is the only one outside Luzon.
