That&#8217;s the same day that the second batch of 30th anniversary products release, so you may be able to catch two Pidgey with one Pok\u00e9 Ball. The second slate of products includes Day and Night themed mini tins that house two packs, a sticker sheet, and an art card. If you collect enough tins, you may be able to spell the word &#8220;anniversary&#8221; with all the Unown in the background. Oct. 2 is also release day for the official Booster Bundles with six packs \u2014 which many consider to be the best deal in the entire lineup.<\/p>\n<p>As with any limited-time drop, you&#8217;ll want to plan early. During the 2026 Worlds promo, when select retailers gave out a San Francisco-themed Pikachu card, many participating stores ran out of cards quickly. Competition for this Mewtwo may be strongest at retailers like GameStop or Best Buy, as they are places where people may seek out the rest of the 30th anniversary products.<\/p>\n<p>The broader set does include a Mewtwo card, but it&#8217;s a Future Rare card that will be difficult to source from a pack. The Nagisimo card may be the next best thing.<\/p>\n<p>The first batch of 30th anniversary products were released on Sept. 16. Fans expect the release to be hectic; check with your local card shop about its release plan.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"pokemon-tcg-torchic-star-record-why-price-psa-10-grade\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<p>                        <img width=\"440\" height=\"248\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Torchic, a starter Pokemon, can be seen tearing up as it jumps up.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/torchic.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=124&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/torchic.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=124&amp;dpr=2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>Related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tA classic Pok\u00e9mon card is about to break an incredible sales record against all odds<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">An unlikely Pok\u00e9mon starter is at the center of an expensive and controversial TCG auction<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-30th-anniversary-cards-release-date-mewtwo-promo-how-to-get\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated\u00a0 Oct 2, 2026, 4:57\u202fPM EDT Patricia is the former editor-in-chief of\u00a0Kotaku, where she spent a decade writing and editing.
