It’s Worlds season, and that means exclusive promos are up for grabs. Whether you’re heading to San Francisco for PokemonXP or simply popping into your local retailer, there are a handful of special cards to chase over the next week or so.
Worlds Pikachu Promo at Retail Stores
According to early reports, select GameStop, Best Buy, and Hot Topic stores are giving out the Worlds Pikachu promo from now through 30 August when you make any Pokemon TCG purchase. This is an in-store-only offer, so online orders won’t qualify. If you’ve been meaning to pick up a booster pack or an Elite Trainer Box, now’s a good excuse.
The same Pikachu promo will also be handed out as a participation prize at Pokemon League “Worlds Celebration” tournaments running from 24 August to 30 August. Winners of each age division at those events will receive a special “Winner” stamped version of the card, which is sure to become a sought-after collectible.
Promos for PokemonXP and Worlds Competitors
For those actually attending Worlds and PokemonXP in San Francisco next week, there are two more exclusive cards on offer. Every badged attendee will receive a Rayquaza from Ascended Heroes featuring a unique “PXP” stamp in the corner. Stamped promos from live events tend to hold their value well among collectors, so this one is worth keeping safe.
Worlds competitors, meanwhile, will find the annual Paradise Resort promo card waiting in their welcome kits. Regular attendees aren’t entirely out of luck, though. According to early reports, it will be possible to win the Paradise Resort card through side events at the venue.
Between the retail giveaway, League tournaments, and on-site exclusives, there’s something for every level of fan this Worlds week. If you’re near a participating store, the Pikachu promo is the easiest pickup, just make sure you grab it before the 30 August cutoff.
