The Pokemon Trading Card Game has been no stranger to unique marketing tactics throughout the game's 26-year-long life. The Pokemon Company has experimented with plenty of different ideas from event-exclusive cards like the Pokemon Center UK's recent Special Delivery Charizard to the stickered Ditto cards with the Pokemon GO collaboration. The game's V-Union mechanic even tasks players with placing multiple cards together to form one giant powerful card. Now, the massively popular trading card game has revealed it will be getting into the Halloween spirit this September.
The Pokemon franchise has often featured Halloween celebrations during the Fall season celebrating the long-running monster-catching series' spookiest creatures. Pokemon GO regularly runs Halloween events with higher spawn rates for Ghost Pokemon and Pokemon Unite added Halloween cosmetics for its first spooky season. With a plethora of ghostly creatures to highlight, the Pokemon Trading Card Game has now revealed it will release an exclusive Halloween-themed card set this year titled «Trick or Trade.»
