The Pokemon Trading Card Game, or Pokemon TCG for short is wildly popular, which has resulted in huge problems with scalpers. That said, when a rare opportunity arises to get your hands on some coveted sets, you need to be ready. That said, one of these rare opportunities is happening tonight, June 18th / 19th at 9pm PT/ 12am ET if you happen to be a Walmart+ member. At that time, you’ll have 3 hours of exclusive early access to the following releases:

Walmart + Early Access Pokemon TCG Event / June 18th /19th at 9pm PT / 12am ET
For 3 hours Walmart+ subscribers will get exclusive access to White Flare and Black Bolt packs, including Elite Trainer Boxes, Poster Collection Boxes, and Booster Bundles. If there’s anything left over, it will be available to the general public after Early Access closes. Walmart does offer a free trial to the subscription, but according to the product pages you’ll need the paid subscription to get access. It’s definitely unfortunate that Pokemon TCG has reached this point, and we don’t know if hiding merch behind these memberships will make much of a difference. However, there are additional reasons why you might want to consider Walmart+, and they’re outlined below.
If you haven’t joined Walmart+ yet, you can do so right here, and it may be worth your while for reasons that go beyond the fact that drops like this are often for members only.
