As of October 2, 2026, the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s 30th-anniversary celebrations have entered their second wave, highlighted by the release of an exclusive Mewtwo promo card. Collectors can secure the card by visiting specific retailers and meeting a minimum spending requirement, though the availability is limited to a distinct list of participating stores.
To receive the special Mewtwo card, customers must spend $15 or more on Pokémon TCG products. According to the official Pokemon.com announcement, this $15 threshold applies to any Pokémon TCG merchandise, not just the newly released 30th Anniversary items. This flexibility allows fans to pick up standard booster packs or Elite Trainer Boxes to qualify for the promo.
Where to Find the Mewtwo Promo Card
While many major chains carry Pokémon products, the anniversary promotion is restricted to seven primary retailers in the United States. Notably, massive retailers like Target and Walmart are not participating in this specific October 2 promotion, despite some regional events held at Target earlier this autumn.
The following U.S. retailers are confirmed to be hosting the giveaway:
- GameStop
- Best Buy
- Hot Topic
- Five Below
- Barnes & Noble
- Macy’s (Toys “R” Us locations)
- BoxLunch
In Canada, the promotion is being held at GameStop (formerly EB Games). In the Oceania region, the card is available through EB Games, JB Hi-Fi, BIG W, Toymate, and Mr Toys. Because these cards are distributed while supplies last, many stores operate on a first-come, first-served basis for in-store purchases.
Card Details and The ‘Pokémon Night Out’ Experience
The Mewtwo promo card itself features unique “Pokémon 30” and “What’s Your Favorite?” stamps, marking it as a specific commemorative piece for the franchise’s three-decade milestone. Beyond the collector’s value of the card, the promo package includes a secondary card featuring a QR code.
The QR code provides access to the “Pokémon Night Out” concert experience. This digital tie-in is part of the broader 30th-anniversary celebration.
New 30th Anniversary Products Launching Today
The start of the Mewtwo promotion coincides with a massive “second wave” of physical product releases for the 30th Celebration expansion set. Starting today, retailers are stocking 30th Celebration Mini Tins, Booster Bundles, and Mini Portfolios.
This specific expansion set has drawn significant attention for its “Pikachu-per-pack” guarantee. Every 30th Celebration booster pack includes a guaranteed Pikachu card, with 30 unique variations of the iconic mascot available to collect. As these products hit shelves today alongside the Mewtwo promo, demand at participating retailers is expected to be high throughout the launch weekend.
