TL;DR: Score the 30th Anniversary Mewtwo promo card for free by spending $15+ on Pokémon TCG products at select retailers. This special offer starts from Oct. 2.
If you’re a Pokémon card collector, you know the absolute nightmare that is fighting off secondary-market scalpers the second a limited-edition card drops.
There is another way.
To celebrate three decades of pocket monsters, The Pokémon Company alternative is dropping a limited-edition Mewtwo promo card starting Oct. 2. Instead of forcing you to drop $100+ on a massive Elite Trainer Box, you only need to spend $15 or more on any Pokémon TCG products to trigger the gift-with-purchase.
The card features an exclusive “Pokémon 30” foil stamping that won’t appear in standard booster packs. Plus, every promo card comes with a secondary QR code card that links directly to the Pokémon Night Out event alternative experience. It’s valid both online and in-store, but given how quickly anniversary merch disappears, you’ll want to lock in your order without delay.
The participating retailers are as follows:
Barnes & Noble
Best Buy
BoxLunch
Five Below
GameStop
Hot Topic
Macy’s
If you’re trying to figure out what to buy to hit that $15 spend limit, the actual 30th Celebration related expansion term lands worldwide on Sept. 16.
The set is a massive trip down memory lane, featuring remastered artwork, classic card reprints, and an unprecedented gimmick: every single booster pack contains a guaranteed rare Pikachu card out of a set of 30 unique designs. Grab a four-pack of individual booster sleeves or a single Booster Bundle at checkout, and you’ll hit that $15 threshold for the Mewtwo card. It’s that easy.
