Black Friday Pokemon card deals probably aren't the first thing you think of when it comes to this sale. After all, the November discounts are better known for tech price cuts on laptops and TVs. However, Fall hits us with some genuinely good offers on accessories or older sets like Pitch Black.
Alright, so you shouldn't expect to get a bargain on brand-new expansions. Those are in very high demand, and resellers flogging whatever they can pushes up the overall cost. As such, any Black Friday Pokemon card deals on the likes of Delta Reign will still wind up far above the recommended price.
That doesn't mean you should give up on saving when it comes to one of the best card games, though. Binders, playmats, deck boxes, and more enjoy big discounts this time of year. You can also save on previous sets in Black Friday Pokemon card deals, because the rush has already passed them by. That's why I'm scouring the long grass for good offers before and during the sale. If you gotta catch 'em all, this is the place to be.
Besides being a fan of the Pokemon card game since it launched in the 1990s, Benjamin has covered sales events like Black Friday on GamesRadar+ for over seven years. He's currently putting together a spooky Psychic deck using Pitch Black pulls like Mega Darkrai ex, Litwick, and Marshadow.

The best Pokemon card deals ahead of Black Friday
Black Friday Pokemon card deals FAQ
When will Black Friday Pokemon card deals start?
This year's Black Friday Pokemon card deals are officially due to begin on November 27, 2026, but they'll actually kick off far sooner than that. I tend to find that discounts begin circulating from mid-November.
However, be aware that actual price cuts on the cards themselves will be rare unless we're talking old sets. With costs being so inflated, the best offers are going to be for accessories.
Does Pokemon go on sale during Black Friday?
Pokemon absolutely does go on sale for Black Friday, with offers on toys, video games, and those all-important cards.
While the Pokemon Trading Card Game didn't used to enjoy reductions at this time of year, that's now changed. These days, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday provide money off everything from accessories to Elite Trainer Boxes. Actually, accessories are likely to get the best discounts; with new sets being so expensive due to inflation, any reductions are likely to still be way over MSRP.
Should I buy blind card bundles at Amazon or Walmart?
If you see random card bundles appear at retailers like Amazon or Walmart, I would proceed with extreme caution. Black Friday seems like an opportunity for third-party sellers to come out of the woodwork, but there's no way to tell what you're getting or if it's legit. While I'd avoid these as a matter of course, you could always check user reviews if you want to dig a little further.
Where will I find the best Black Friday Pokemon card deals?
Even though Amazon is always a good bet when it comes to Cyber Monday Pokemon card deals, the likes of Walmart are often pretty great for discounts. That was certainly the case last year, so I have high hopes for 2025.
Unfortunately, everyone's cottoned on to this fact and the shelves are stripped bare pretty fast. That means you'll need to be fast if you want to catch 'em all - OK, fine, I'll stop with the Pokejokes now.
Here are the retailers I tend to keep an eye on:
USA
- Amazon: Good variety
- Miniature Market: Best prices
- Walmart: Great range, high prices
- Best Buy: Plenty of boxsets
UK
- Amazon: Provides invite-by-request
- Magic Madhouse: Good for individual cards
- Zatu: Reliable discounts
There are plenty of other offers to choose from, including Black Friday Magic: The Gathering deals and Black Friday Lego deals. Want the latest Pokemon cards, on the other hand? Here's where to buy Pokemon TCG Delta Reign.
