The event will take place at the OTE Arena at 230 17th Street in Atlanta, Georgia. The official site hasn’t updated yet with ticket sales. However, the announcement mentioned the jerseys, special referee uniforms, and themed LEDs. An official image already shows how each team’s uniform will look and confirmed Pokemon paired up with them.

Here’s the list of Overtime Elite basketball teams paired with the Pokemon that will appear on their jerseys for this crossover event.

  • Blue Checks – Venusaur
  • City Reapers – Charizard
  • Cold Hearts – Blastoise
  • Diamond Doves – Sableye
  • Fear of God Athletics – Darkrai
  • Jelly Fam – Ditto
  • RWE – Gengar
  • YNG Dreamerz – Pikachu 

One of the other basketball tie-ins we saw happened in January 2024. Anycolor teamed up its Nijisanji Vtubers with NBA teams. 

The Overtime Elite Pokemon Playoffs will be held on February 18, 2025 and mark the debut of the new basketball jerseys, and those will be sold alongside other clothing at the Overtime store on February 27, 2025.
