It's cool they're revisiting old Team Rocket episodes. Jessie and James always had the best, wildest plans, even if they never worked. You know, their Pokémon like Wobbuffet and Arbok are on some really popular older cards, which makes seeing them in the anime even better.
Read the full story ↗That Max Battle Day was pretty cool for GO players. It's tough when Legendaries are region-locked, like Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf were. Their older cards, especially from sets like Diamond & Pearl, are still popular with collectors because they're strong Psychic types.
Read the full story ↗A Pokémon concert with Marshmello is pretty cool. It's wild how big the brand is getting, even mixing with music now. These events bring new people into the fandom, which helps a lot with TCG interest and keeps sets like Evolving Skies popular.
Read the full story ↗Getting a Kyogre, Groudon, or Giratina promo sounds good. But November 2026 is still a long time from now. It's cool they're bringing back Mega Evolution, though; that mechanic was a fun part of older sets.
Read the full story ↗Nintendo's adding more old Game Boy games, that's pretty cool. Mole Mania is a puzzle game from the guy who made Pokémon. It's neat how they bring back these retro games, kinda like finding a super rare vintage card.
Read the full story ↗It’s kinda a bummer Pokémon GO isn't ready for the iPhone Duo right away. You’d think they’d want it running smooth on new phones, especially since lots of people play to catch rare Pokémon. They usually update TCG apps pretty quick for new devices, so it should get patched.
Read the full story ↗That November 2026 release date for Delta Reign is super far away. It's awesome that both Elite Trainer Boxes come with a full-art Kyogre promo, especially the Pokémon Center one with 11 packs. I hope Mega Evolutions make a real comeback in the meta by then.
Read the full story ↗More costume Pokémon are always fun for Halloween. That Sinistea with a bow is a cool choice, and hunting for its shiny version will be a big challenge. Remember, many event-costumed Pokémon like this can't be traded in GO, so catching your own is key.
Read the full story ↗It's cool to see a video looking back at Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet. Alternate art cards really took off during Sword & Shield, making them super popular with collectors. Plus, those Santa Cruz collab cards are pretty neat, they're definitely unique.
Read the full story ↗It's cool seeing Mega Garchomp Z doing so well in tournaments now. Mega Evolutions are usually super powerful, and it's always fun to see strong Pokémon shake up the game. I wonder if this will make its cards more popular, especially the older ones.
Read the full story ↗Switch Sports Resort sounds pretty fun with 12 new sports. I hope the motion controls for golf are way better now, they were always tricky. It’s cool how the Pokémon Blog shares news about other Nintendo games too, since many of us collect cards and play the console.
Read the full story ↗They brought back the Mighty Garchomp Tera Raid. Garchomp's a fan favorite, even considered a pseudo-legendary by some, so this is a big deal for your Pokedex. You can only catch it once, so plan your team and try to get a good one with that Ground Tera Type.
Read the full story ↗Looks like the Delta Reign update is happening soon. It's kinda surprising that no cards were banned for either format. Usually, big rule changes like this bring some shake-ups, but your current decks are still totally fine.
Read the full story ↗Ten hours for the GO Wild Area stamp rallies is a long time. You can hit all seven stops and maybe get some good Pokémon. It reminds me of the Pokémon GO TCG set, which had cool cards like the Radiant 'mons, making you want to collect everything.
Read the full story ↗It's cool that Hatsune Miku made a new Pokémon song. I heard it’s called 'LEGENDS'. Sometimes collaborations like this can even get their own special promo cards later. I hope they release a music video with some cool Pokémon.
Read the full story ↗An underwater zone for Pokopia sounds neat. Those areas usually have really cool details, kinda like how some water Pokémon cards feature awesome ocean backgrounds. That price for Part One is pretty high, even with the extra items.
Read the full story ↗It's neat how Pokémon is looking back at the Black & White, XY, and Sun & Moon sets. XY cards are especially cool, a lot of collectors still chase the Full Art EX cards from that era. Plus, it's interesting to see them tie it into the Santa Cruz collab.
Read the full story ↗A permanent Pokémon Center in London by 2029 is a big deal. Japan already has a bunch, and they sell exclusive stuff you can't get anywhere else. This probably means new promo cards or special accessories will come to the West, which is great for us collectors.
Read the full story ↗This Pokémon Night Out stream is pretty cool for Pokémon GO players. You can get an avatar just by watching for 30 minutes. It reminds me how even non-TCG events keep the whole Pokémon community active, which helps card values stay strong over time.
Read the full story ↗They're adding the Team Aqua and Magma admins to Masters EX, which is pretty cool. Getting Matt with Sharpedo, Shelly with Sharpedo, and Tabitha with Camerupt is a nice touch. The Team Aqua and Magma cards from way back had some wild abilities that boosted their specific Pokémon.
Read the full story ↗It's interesting they're making a short for Magmar. You don't see it in the spotlight often. Magmar evolves into Magmortar when traded with a Magmarizer, so having a short might get more people looking at its cards. It's a solid Fire-type.
Read the full story ↗This Pokopia update sounds super helpful. Portal pods and bulk transfers for items are awesome for managing stuff, which reminds me how important organization is. Like when you sort your Pokémon cards by set, finding a chase card like a VMAX is so much easier. Good organization saves a lot of time.
Read the full story ↗TCG Pocket has these Pika Pika missions for a special Pikachu ex card. You just gotta log in ten days to get it, which is pretty easy. Pikachu ex cards are always sought after, and this one celebrates 30 years of the Pokémon TCG, which is a big deal.
Read the full story ↗Nintendo's got a Halloween sale for Switch games right now. It's a good time to check if any Pokémon games or DLC are discounted. Many Pokémon card illustrations actually come from the video games, which is pretty cool when you're collecting.
