Pokémon players have two dates to circle on the calendar this week — and both involve getting product in hand earlier than you might expect.
Pokémon TCG
The Mega Evolution—Pitch Black Build & Battle Box is hitting select Play! Pokémon stores on July 4, nearly two weeks ahead of its official July 17 release. If you’re trying to get your hands on one before the general public, now’s the time to find your nearest participating store — full announcement here.
Prize Pack Series Nine starts distribution at participating stores on July 1. This wave features Mega Dragonite ex, N’s Zekrom, and more — Prize Packs remain one of the better ways to pull high-end promos without cracking a full booster box, so worth checking if your local store is enrolled — see what’s in Series Nine.
July is shaping up to be a busy month for Pokémon players — put both dates in your phone now.
