All upcoming Pokemon TCG releases (October 2024)
The Pokemon CompanyThe Pokemon trading card game has a busy schedule (too busy, some might say) and a lot is coming up in the next month to look forward to as a collector. Whether you’re looking for rare cards or TCG accessories, there’ll be something for you to pick up and enjoy.
Here, we’ve gathered all of the Pokemon TCG releases coming up this month – including both English and Japanese releases – with their release dates, set information, and other key details.
You’ll find individual products and entire expansion sets in this list, sorted by release date, along with recommendations on where you can buy or pre-order everything. Here’s the full list of upcoming Pokemon TCG releases in October 2024.
October 4: Charizard ex Super Premium Collection
To kick off the month, the Charizard ex Super Premium collection will be released on October 4, 2024. This special collection includes a stunning mini statue of Charizard lighting the ground aflame. The box will also contain the following:
- x1 Holo promo of Charizard ex
- Holo cards of Charmander and Charmeleon
- 10 Pokemon TCG booster packs (from various expansions)
This super collection isn’t cheap, coming in at $79.99. It has also already been sold out at the Pokemon Center store. Those looking to get ahold of it will want to pay attention to their local retail stores and check back on the Pokemon Center for possible post-launch restocks.
October 4: Houndstone ex Box
Alongside the Charizard ex collection, players will also have the opportunity to pick up the Houndstone ex Box for a super-sized spooky promo card. This set is a bit more bare-bones, and contains the following items:
- 1 super-sized promo card featuring Houndstone
- 1 holo pomo card featuring Houndstone
- 1 holo card featuring Greavard
- x4 Pokemon TCG booster packs
This set isn’t available on the Pokemon Center store but will be widely available in retail stores and card shops for $21.99. It’s the perfect mini collection for the spooky season, and definitely one Ghost-type fans won’t want to miss out on.
October 18: Supercharge Breaker
Currently, not much is known about what will be in the Japanese release of Supercharge Breaker on October 18th. A card list featuring Stellar Pikachu ex has given players a few glimpses of what to expect, but the complete breakdown of products has not yet been revealed.
For players waiting on Surging Sparks in November, this is a set worth keeping an eye on. Supercharge Breaker and September’s Paradise Dragona will help set the card list for Surging Sparks, potentially giving insight into what fans may see revealed for the next English expansion later in the month.
October 30: Pokemon TCG Pocket
The Pokemon CompanyWhile not an expansion, it is important to note that Pokemon TCG Pocket will be released on October 30, 2024. This mobile adaption of the TCG will allow fans to open unique booster packs and collect cards from expansions specifically designed for digital play.
Players can pre-register for the game on the Apple and Android app stores and can check out the dozens of previews from streamers and YouTubers that have been shared ahead of launch. While it is too early to know if this will be as popular as the standard tabletop Pokemon TCG gameplay, it will be a fun addition to the already exciting task of collecting Pokemon cards.
That is it for Pokemon TCG releases in October. It’s going to be a quieter month, but that makes it the perfect time to build excitement for Surging Sparks in November. Players can also go out and snag the 2024 Trick or Trade Booster Packs, which hold an array of spooky Ghost and Pyschic-type companions with the signature Halloween Pikachu pumpkin emblem on the front.
