Summary
With fall fast approaching,fans of thePokémon Trading Card Gamemay already have the perfect gift for any trick-or-treaters that come knocking on Halloween. Given the popularity of Ghost-type Pokémon, it’s a wonder that more themed products haven’t been released to coincide with the spookiest night of the year. With Pokémon like Gengar and Mimikyu proving to be mainstays amongst the community, celebrating these haunting critters is a fun way of both giving fans what they want while earning The Pokémon Company a decent chunk of change.
The Pokémon Companyannounced thatthe popular “Trick-or-Trade” BOOSter Bundle is making a triumphant return in 2024, with pre-orders for the collection beginning on August 30. Each bundle includes 35 mini booster packs which contain three unearthly cards a piece, perfect for those who’d rather skip Halloween candy. The 2024 BOOster Bundle costs $14.99, making it a decent value proposition for anyone who might be interested in hunting for some Ghost or Dark-type Pokémon even before Halloween officially rolls around in a couple of months.
