Now that the new set's launch is almost exactly a month away, fans are starting to ask where they can buy Pokemon TCG Pitch Black. Is it available anywhere, or has stock been snapped up by resellers?
That's what I'm here to help with. I've spent a very long time tracking stock and prices for the best card games, so have picked up a trick or two along the way. Want to know where to buy Pokemon TCG Pitch Black without spending an absurd amount on inflated costs? Not a problem - you can steal all my secrets in this guide, including which stores to prioritize or avoid.
Tip one: move quickly. I'd recommend checking the following stores each day, and if you see that it's possible to buy Pokemon Pitch Black, don't hesitate. Stock isn't gonna stay available for long (as proven when it appeared at Miniature Market, then vanished again), so move fast to secure those cards. Tip two: don't give up just because a store says it's out of stock. I've known plenty to get new units in unexpectedly, so it pays to make a return visit later. Keep the stores listed below on your bookmarks.

Pokemon TCG Pitch Black FAQ
Want to know exactly what's happening with Pokemon TCG Pitch Black? Don't worry, I've got you covered with this bite-size TL:DR lowdown on the expansion.
When is Pokemon TCG Pitch Black coming out?
The Pitch Black expansion will be available on July 17, 2026. However, you'll be able to get your hands on it early if you go to prerelease events at indie stores from July 4.
What is a "good" price for Pokemon TCG Pitch Black?
We don't tend to get pricing for Pokemon TCG expansions ahead of time, but here's a rough look at how much the most common items cost based on previous sets.
Booster Bundle: $26.94
Elite Trainer Box: $59.99
Booster Display Box: $161.64
Due to demand, scarcity, and cheeky resellers driving up costs, you'll be very lucky to buy Pokemon TCG Pitch Black at those prices. The trick becomes knowing what a "good" inflated price looks like. For Booster Bundles, roughly $40-$50 is pretty decent. As far as Elite Trainer Boxes go, you'll be lucky if you see them for $80 or less. As for Booster Display Boxes, $180 is fairly good.
When will Pokemon TCG Pitch Black pre-orders go live?
The Pokemon Company doesn't tend to reveal when pre-orders will go live, but Pitch Black should become available to buy anytime from now. Stay vigilant and keep checking, in other words.
Why is Pokemon TCG so hard to buy?
As you've probably noticed, it's fiendishly difficult to track down Pokemon cards at a reasonable price... and there are a few reasons for that. While supply may play a part, demand definitely does. The TCG is wildly popular, and a lot of people are trying to track it down. Secondly, unscrupulous resellers like to scoop up as much as possible to flog at an inflated price. Don't buy from them, as it'll encourage the cycle to continue.
Still, that doesn't mean things will always be like this. Pokemon is acquiring a US trading card game distributor, for example, so our stock woes could be about to change.
