Save $4 - This is sitting very close to the lowest price we've seen this box drop to, which includes four boosters. Before now, it was steady at around $25 (or thereabouts), so it dropping by a few of dollars makes this a decent offer.

Buy it if:
✅ You want some boosters, but not loads
✅ You're not looking for anything in particular

Don't buy it if:
❌ You're happy to wait for another discount

Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet 151 Zapdos Ex Box | ~~$24.99~~ $21.99 at Amazon

Black Friday Pokemon card deals - Obsidian Flames

Recent updates

Discounts on Obsidian Flames are thin on the ground right now, and that's probably because the likes of the Elite Trainer Box and Booster Box are dropping during Black Friday Pokemon card deals.

Black Friday Pokemon card deals - Paldea Evolved

Paldea Evolved Booster Box | ~~$160.99~~ $108.77 at Walmart
Save $52 - This one doesn't tell us what the normal going rate for the box is, annoyingly, but considering that Best Buy is selling this thing for around $60 more, we'll use that as as baseline. This isn't the lowest price we've seen this drop down to, but still a great saving for a lot of boosters.

🔸 UK: £69.99 at Amazon

Buy it if:
✅ You're want as many boosters as possible
✅ You're starting a Paldea deck

Don't buy it if:
❌ You're on a budget

Black Friday Pokemon card deals - FAQ

When will Black Friday Pokemon card deals start?

There's always one thing you can rely on when it gets to this time of year: when Black Friday happens. It always takes place on the final Friday of the month, and the day after Thanksgiving. In other words, you can expect it to kick off this year on November 24.

While this will be when the best Black Friday Pokemon card deals happen, you should definitely keep an eye out beforehand. Things get going a lot earlier than Black Friday itself, and they continue until it's almost December. (Albeit under the name 'Cyber Monday.')

Where will I find the best Black Friday Pokemon card deals?

Even though Amazon is always a good bet when it comes to Black Friday Pokemon cards, the likes of Walmart (in-store, anyway) are often pretty great in terms of discounts. 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 (we'll stop with the Pokejokes now).

- Amazon USA: A reliable choice for variety and deals on major packs
- Amazon UK: Trad itionally good for discounts on the biggest sets
- Walmart: Offer s a surprising range of card deals, especially in-store
- Best Buy: Plent y of boxsets available, but mainly new ones
- Magic Madhouse: Good for individual cards or sets

What to expect

The Pokemon Trading Card Game doesn't get price cuts all that often, so any discount you can lay your hands on - no matter how small - is worth considering. Because most sets old and new hold their value throughout the year, don't hesitate to pounce on any saving that appears this November.

In terms of what we'll actually see on sale, it's a fair bet that Elite Trainer Boxes (which feature a handful of booster packs, a special card, card sleeves, and more) will get the lion's share of reductions. They enjoy price cuts up to and during the annual Black Friday Pokemon card deals, so we don't expect that pattern to change. It certainly didn't last year.

If you're a newcomer, you should definitely check out the Pokemon Battle Academy box

Otherwise, Battle Decks with premade sets or limited packs like the Charizard EX Collection are contenders for a saving too. Indeed, we saw plenty of the former go on offer last year. Similarly, those massive booster boxes (featuring hundreds of cards) get tempting discounts if your budget is able to stretch that far.

If you're a newcomer, meanwhile, you should definitely check out the Pokemon Battle Academy box this Black Friday. It's a super effective introduction (apologies, it was too tempting) to the game itself and gives you everything you need to play right away. Because it often gets a price cut and has been reduced during Black Friday before, we'd say to keep an eye on it as we enter the November sales season.

Last year's best Black Friday Pokemon card deals

Trainer's Toolkit | ~~$29.99~~ $20.99 at Best Buy
Save $9 - Regardless of whether you're new to the game or just want to supercharge your existing collection, this Trainer's Toolkit is a must-have... and seeing it drop by $9 in November last year made it one of the better Black Friday Pokemon card deals. Besides getting you useful cards to boost your deck basic Energy to power them, it featured 65 card sleeves, a deck builder's guide, and more accessories to help you out. That's it was lowest price by a dollar, too! In other words, the sale isn't just about the cards themselves.
