At Menkind, we stay up to date with new releases of Pokémon cards, so keep checking back to see if the next batch has arrived or if it is available to buy on preorder. New releases are very popular so stocks are first come, first serve.
Pokémon cards are great to purchase for yourself or as a gift. If you are ordering as a gift, we would recommend looking at recent releases as your recipient is less likely to already have them.
Our most popular cards are the Pokémon booster packs and booster boxes. Booster packs give you 4 common cards, 3 uncommon cards and 3 foils, which will include 1 rare card. So they are a great way to improve your deck and make you stand out against your competitors. A booster box contains several different booster packs.
Pokémon cards are also available across our 60 stores and you can click & collect too, depending on availability. Check out your nearest store in our store locator.
What is Pokémon TCG?
Pokémon TCG stands for Pokémon Trading Card Game. Created by Creatures Inc and suitable for ages 6+, Pokémon TCG is a popular collectible card game. As of 2023, over 52 billion cards have been sold and the game played by millions across the world.
When Were Pokémon Cards Introduced?
Pokémon cards were first released in October 1996, in Japan, after the surprise success of the original two Game Boy games, Pokémon Blue Version and Pokémon Red Version. The first Pokémon card set was the 1st Starter & Expansion Pack which only contained the original 150 Pokémon. Since then, there have been lots of further expansions and around 9000 unique cards are available, some of which are very rare.
How Do You Play Pokémon TCG?
Pokémon TCG is played using three types of cards; trainer cards, energy cards and Pokémon cards. You start with a deck of 60 cards, which comprises a mixture of the three types. Your Pokémon have a certain level of hit points and different attacks and techniques, which you use to duel your opponent. But to do well, you need to combine with your trainer and energy cards to really become an elite Pokémon player.
