Pokémon restocks: how they work

A restock is a new delivery of product a store has already sold out of. For Pokémon, the busiest restocks follow a new set or a popular special product, and they work differently at card shops and at big-box stores.

• Big-box stores restock on their own schedules. Product arrives with a store's regular deliveries and is put out when staff get to it, so timing varies store by store. Stores do not publish restock times for trading cards.
• Purchase limits are now common. Walmart set a limit of five trading card packs or boxes per visit from November 5, 2025 (Wargamer). In June 2026 some Target stores began limiting Pokémon cards and merchandise to one per person (My Nintendo News). Limits can differ by store and by product, so check at the register or on the product page.
• Card shops order direct from distributors. Local shops usually get a new set on release day, sometimes with preorders or prerelease events beforehand. They often set their own per-customer limits on the most wanted items. Find one in the card shop directory.
• Lines form for the hardest-to-find products. We are tracking reports of restock lines and the rules stores put in place on the line tracker.
