You read right, the Detective Pikachu movie is getting their own expansion for the Pokemon Trading Card Game (Pokemon TCG). 27 new cards to be exact, featuring different Pokemon that are seen in the movie. 18 of them will be available in the Detective Pikachu booster packs, while the remaining nine (9) cards will be made available at in-store promo events or in the Detective Pikachu collections.
The following stores will host in-store events where you can get one of three Pokémon TCG promo cards from the Detective Pikachu expansion:
| Country | Bulbasaur (SM198) | Psyduck (SM199) | Snubbull (SM200) |
| USA | Walmart | Target | GameStop |
| Australia | Mr Toys and Toy Mate | Big W | EB Games |
hopefully, other countries will get a chance to grab these cards as well.
As I mentioned earlier, some of the cards from the Detective Pikachu expansion are available in specific Pokémon TCG collections. If you’re looking to get one of these cards, make sure to purchase its corresponding collection.
