This list is a few days out of date. It covered October 12, 2026 to October 18, 2026 and has not been updated since. Treat it as a record of what was expected, not as this week's plan.
October 12, 2026 to October 18, 2026
Where Pokemon cards are expected to turn up, in store and online. This is community intelligence, not fact, and none of it is announced by anyone. Retailers do not publish restock schedules, so every line here is other people watching shelves and backend listings and comparing notes. These are not our findings. We are passing on what the trackers said, in the words they hedged it with. Treat it as a decent guess, and check the confidence on each one.
8 in store, 3 online. A snapshot compiled October 12, 2026 from community restock trackers, read October 12, 2026. It is what somebody else expected on that date, and it has not been checked since.

Be on alert for a potential Pokemon Center drop. The trackers say they will pass on any indication of a drop ahead of time.

In store
Expected
More regions and warehouses are expected to receive Ascended Heroes Mini Tins, in 10 pack and 5 pack bundles. 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Boxes and Booster Bundles are expected to start arriving as early as late this week, the trackers say.
When. No day for the Mini Tins. As early as late this week for the 30th Celebration products, which is an expectation, not a date Costco has published.
30th Celebration UPCs and 2-Pack Figure Collection bundles are loaded in the system, the trackers say, but are not expected until later this year.
The trackers say they will keep monitoring changes and post any warehouse that shows Pokemon TCG stock in its system. That is their measurement rather than ours and we have not checked it.

Nothing matches that combination.
Where it came from. Community restock trackers, read October 12, 2026. Stock tracking communities we follow, passed on with the hedges they were written with. We do not name them, and there is no link, because several are private or paid and a reader is not served by being pointed at a door they cannot open. None of this is our own reporting and none of it is a retailer speaking.
What the labels mean. Confirmed: A date the retailer put on it, or stock already seen on shelves. Usual window: Expected inside a known range. Expected: The community thinks it is coming. No date. Pattern only: A day or time people have noticed. No retailer publishes a restock schedule, so this is the weakest thing on the page.
When rows disappear. A row that covers one afternoon or one evening prints the date it stops being true, and it is removed from this page the day after, on your clock rather than ours. The rest of the list runs to the end of the week at the top of the page, and once that week has passed the page says so before it says anything else. Nothing here is refreshed automatically, so an old page is an old page and it will tell you it is one.
Whose logos these are. Company names and logos on this page are the trademarks of their owners and are used to identify the companies described. Nothing here is sponsored, affiliated or endorsed. Marks are mirrored from Wikimedia Commons, where each carries a public domain copyright tag; the venues with no mark have their name set in this site's own typeface instead. The kind of shop is the word under each name: Official store, Big box, Pharmacy, Discount, Warehouse club, Bookstore, Sporting goods.
Stock varies store to store and the good stuff goes fast, so this tells you where to look rather than what you will find. If you would rather buy without the hunt, the Rochester, NY shops and the card shows have cards on a table right now, and pack prices shows what a pack actually costs before you pay a scalper for one. If you are after a First Partner collection box, there is a full guide to those with all 27 cards, what is in the box and what it should cost.
