Trick or Trade BOOSter Packs return to Pokémon TCG this Halloween as a way to gift kids with cards top open rather than sweets.
For the second year in a row, the Pokémon TCG will release a bag of special booster packs meant to be given out to Trick or Treaters on Halloween. These Trick or Trade BOOster Packs will be released on September 1st for $19.99. It will include 50 booster packs which are ten above last year’s amount, making this product now cost $5 more. While we do not yet have any information regarding the cards within, we can assume that it will be similar to last year’s Pokémon TCG Trick or Trade BOOster Packs. Rather than a unique set of cards, these cards are direct reprints from other sets that retain that set numbering while adding a unique pumpkin Pikachu stamp in the bottom right corner of the card. The highest rarity that could be pulled from last year’s BOOster Packs was a holographic rare.
