Pokémon TCG: Paldea Evolved Can Now Be Sold At Certain Game Stores

The next Pokémon TCG expansion, Scarlet & Violet - Paldea Evolved, can now be sold at certain game stores. Here's how to know which ones.


Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved will not be released at most stores until Friday, June 9. However, you may be able to open up packs, an Elite Trainer Box, and even a booster box of this new expansion today. Tournament-official game stores, which partner with The Pokémon Company International to host ranked gameplay, can now sell Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved before its Friday release. Do you have a local store you can go to and pick up a booster box?
