Pokemon Center Report – Pokemon TCG Sleeves + Boxes + Goodies

Hello everyone!

As regular readers can tell, the site is different. I’m currently in the process of fixing up the site with a new theme, so I appreciate everyone’s patience as I stumble my way through here.

But in the meantime, we have exciting new releases ahead of us, so let’s dive right in~

Along with the release of the newest set of booster packs (“Awaiting Islands” and “Alola Moonlight”) a bunch of brand new TCG related items also came out, including the ever popular card sleeves. There were five designs with this release:

Alola Vulpix & Ninetails

Mimikyu

Ditto-chu

Wild Ride, featuring Tauros and Tapu Koko

And the Lycanroc duo!

This same illustration was also featured on a single deck box.

There were two double deck sized boxes available as well, featuring a slightly different Lycanroc illustration

And a super cute Mallow’s Cooking illustration, with Rockruff, Pikipek, and Bounsweet.

There was also three new Special Sets, each featuring a unique promo card that can only be obtained through these sets. One set featured Jangmo-o

One with Komala

and one with Pikachu!

On a side note, the three special sets plus Mallow’s Cooking deck box were the only items to sell out (as of this posting) from the TCG release, which is interesting considering the Alola Vulpix and Mimikyu card sleeves. I guess to be fair, none of the items that sold out were limited, so I can see card people buying as many as possible, but it was still surprising to me. Of the three special sets, Pikachu sold out first (but also to be fair, that illustration is really cute!)

Pikachu’s Easter promotion came out today (along with a couple other items) so stay tuned for the next Pokemon Center Report hopefully coming soon!
