<p>The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) has an action-packed schedule (some might say too busy), with plenty of exciting releases lined up for collectors this month. Whether you’re in search of rare cards or TCG accessories, there’s something new for everyone to enjoy.
In this article, we’ve compiled all of the upcoming Pokémon TCG releases for October – featuring both English and Japanese editions – along with their release dates, set information, and other essential details.
You’ll find a range of individual products and complete expansion sets in this compilation, organized by release date, along with recommendations on where to buy or pre-order each item.
October 4: Charizard ex Super Premium Collection
Kicking off the month, the Charizard ex Super Premium Collection will launch on October 4, 2024. This exclusive collection features a breathtaking mini statue of Charizard breathing fire. Inside the box, you will find:
- 1 Holo promo card of Charizard ex
- Holo cards of Charmander and Charmeleon
- 10 Pokémon TCG booster packs from various expansions
This impressive collection is priced at $79.99 and has already sold out at the Pokémon Center store. Collectors eager to secure this item should keep an eye on local retail stores and regularly check back with Pokémon Center for potential post-launch restocks.
October 4: Houndstone ex Box
On the same day as the Charizard ex collection, players can also purchase the Houndstone ex Box, which features a super-sized spooky promo card. This set is a bit simpler, containing the following:
- 1 super-sized promo card featuring Houndstone
- 1 holo promo card featuring Houndstone
- 1 holo card featuring Greavard
- 4 Pokémon TCG booster packs
This particular set is not available at the Pokémon Center but will be widely found in retail stores and card shops for $21.99. It’s a perfect mini-collection for the Halloween season and a must-have for fans of Ghost-type Pokémon.
October 18: Supercharge Breaker
Currently, details about the Japanese release of Supercharge Breaker, set to launch on October 18, are limited. However, a card list featuring Stellar Pikachu ex has offered fans some insights into what to expect, though a complete product breakdown has yet to be announced.
For those anxiously awaiting the upcoming Surging Sparks release in November, it’s worth keeping tabs on this set. Both Supercharge Breaker and last month’s Paradise Dragona will significantly influence the card list for Surging Sparks, potentially providing hints about the next English expansion later in the month.
October 30: Pokémon TCG Pocket
While not an expansion, it’s crucial to note that Pokémon TCG Pocket will officially release on October 30, 2024. This mobile adaptation of the TCG will enable fans to open unique booster packs and collect cards from expansions specifically formulated for digital play.
Players can pre-register for the game on both the Apple and Android app stores and explore numerous previews shared by streamers and YouTubers ahead of its launch. While it’s too early to determine if this digital version will match the popularity of traditional tabletop Pokémon TCG gameplay, it promises to be a fun addition to the exciting world of Pokémon card collecting.
That’s all for the Pokémon TCG releases in October. While the month may be quieter, it serves as a perfect opportunity to build anticipation for Surging Sparks in November. Additionally, players can pick up the 2024 Trick or Trade Booster Packs, featuring a variety of spooky Ghost and Psychic-type Pokémon with the iconic Halloween Pikachu pumpkin logo.
