"The ring in which the bouts took place included Pokémon Legends: Z-A branding (or Leyendas Pokémon Z-A , as it's called in Spanish). Attendees were given paper hats of Hawlucha and Machamp to wear in the stands, and Pikachu and Eevee mascots were hanging out the whole time. If you want to watch the whole thing, it's on Latam's YouTube channel, but do keep in mind this was a Spanish event."
"Those who attended the event were gifted a Pokémon Home medal featuring art of Hawlucha and Machamp squaring up. As of right now, there are no plans to distribute this anywhere else outside the event. For those of us who couldn't make it out to Mexico City, the VOD is still a really fun intersection of and a specific culture."
