• Reports are sightings at a moment in time, not live stock counts.

Pokémon Restock Reports: October 15-22, 2026

If you've been searching for "Pokémon restock Target" or "Dollar General Pokémon restock," this roundup is for you. Here's where restock reports showed up from October 15 to October 22, 2026.

Across that stretch there were 2,321 restock reports in total. Pokémon made up the big share with 1,809 reports. Magic: The Gathering followed with 259, general collectibles had 225, One Piece had 17 and Dragon Ball Super had 11.

Every report is a sighting logged by Plugged Inn store monitors or a confirmed member report at a moment in time. It is not live stock, and it says nothing about how many units a store had. A shelf that had product when someone reported it may have been empty an hour later.

Which Retailers Had the Most Restock Reports

Dollar General topped the list by a wide margin, with Walgreens and Amazon close behind each other in second and third. These counts cover all report types for each retailer, not only Pokémon.

Most-Reported Pokémon Products This Week

Product names in reports come straight from retailer listings, so some look a little rough. The most-reported entry was a broad "Pokémon Trading Card Game" listing, which can cover a range of items.

After that, 30th-anniversary products stood out. The 30th Elite Trainer Box listing (it appears in reports as "F26 30th Elite Trainer B Pokemon Trainer Box 30th Elite") and a 30th Poster Collection listing both drew hundreds of reports. Mini tins and the First Partner Illustration Collection Series 2 also showed up regularly.

• Pokémon Trading Card Game (general listing): 445 reports
• 30th Elite Trainer Box listing: 387 reports
• 30th Poster Collection listing: 297 reports
• Pokémon Trading Card Game Mini Tin, Assorted: 77 reports
• Pokémon Ascended Mini Tin: 76 reports
• Pokémon TCG First Partner Illustration Collection Series 2: 46 reports
• Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection: 30 reports

Other Games in the Restock Reports

Pokémon wasn't the only thing turning up. Magic: The Gathering's Star Trek products appeared several times in the top product list, and a Yu-Gi-Oh! box made an appearance too.

• Konami - Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game: Magnificent Maestros Box: 57 reports
• Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector Booster Box: 52 reports
• Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector's Edition Commander Deck Bundle: 38 reports
• Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Collector Booster: 30 reports
• Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit Collector Booster: 29 reports

Seen Often Doesn't Mean Easy to Find

A high report count tells you where sightings happened, not how much product was there or how long it lasted. One store with a handful of units can generate a report just as easily as a store with a full shelf.

In-store sightings outnumbered online ones during the period, with 1,359 in-store reports and 962 online reports. Both kinds are snapshots. If a retailer or state isn't high on these lists, that doesn't mean nothing showed up there, only that fewer sightings were logged.

The best way to use this data is as a pattern: which store types and areas are getting attention. Then check closer to home before you make the trip.

How Plugged Inn Helps You Catch Pokémon Restocks

Since sightings come and go quickly, timing matters. That's what Plugged Inn is built around.

Alerts: The Plugged Inn Discord has 10,000+ members and sends fast restock alerts from 500+ monitored sites, along with release and drop calendars and our team's heads-ups on upcoming store drops. The Plugged Inn app also sends Pokémon restock alerts, so you can get notified wherever you are.

In-store stock checker: Best Buy logged 103 reports during the period. Before driving out for a 30th Elite Trainer Box or a collection box, members can use the in-store stock checker to look up Pokémon card stock and allocations at Best Buy, Costco and Sam's Club stores by ZIP code.

Autocheckout: For online drops at Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Pokémon Center and more, members can set up a checkout profile for autocheckout attempts. Not every attempt ends in a checkout, but it gives you a real shot when a drop goes live while you're busy.
