Melee! Pokemon Scramble is a Japanese Pokémon TCG promo collection from the Platinum era, released on July 10, 2009. It is a small promotional run of 19 catalog printings rather than a booster expansion with a rarity ladder, so its structure is simple: a short list of promotional cards tied to a single occasion. Sixteen of its cards carried over into the English Pokémon Rumble, which makes the run more relevant to English-language collectors than its size suggests. Anyone working through the card list will find a compact checklist that is easy to survey in one sitting.
Melee! Pokemon Scramble is a promotional collection, so there is no booster pull ladder of commons, holos and secret rares to climb, and the set carries no printed count with secrets stacked above it. Its appeal rests on the Japanese promo printings themselves and on their link to the English Pokémon Rumble, which reused 16 of the cards. With only 19 printings in the whole run, the most valuable cards sit in a narrow field, and the checklist reads as a short list of promotional singles rather than a hunt through tiers of rarity.
Melee! Pokemon Scramble came after LEGEND Era Unnumbered Energies, whose best-known card is Basic Darkness Energy, and before Movie Commemoration Random Pack, which is headed by Spiky-eared Pichu M. Those neighbours are also small promotional releases, which fits this set's place in the Platinum era's stream of promotional issues. The Japanese release came first: its cards reached English as Pokémon Rumble on December 2, 2009, 4 months later. As a promo collection it is best measured by what it shares with that English set and by where it sits in the release order, not as a rival to the era's full expansions.
Melee! Pokemon Scramble was released July 10, 2009.

Completing Melee! Pokemon Scramble means tracking down all 19 catalog printings, a short run by the standards of any Japanese Pokémon TCG release. Because it is a promo collection, the cards were distributed for a specific occasion rather than sold as part of a standard retail line, so the challenge is locating individual singles rather than finishing a long checklist. The 16 cards shared with the English Pokémon Rumble also give collectors a second route to much of the same material.
